Last week the United States Postal Service released its Latin Music Legends Commemorative Forever Stamps. The five artists honored are Celia Cruz, Selena, Carlos Gardel, Tito Puente, and Carmen Miranda.

Artist, Rafael López, who is mostly known for his colorful abstract murals and surrealist Children’s book illustrations, painted the five designs. This was the third time Lopez worked with art director Ethel Kessler, having previously worked on two other commemorative stamps for the USPS.
Most recently, in 2008, his work was – again – exposed nationally when he joined Artists for Obama in creating VOZ UNIDA – an official poster used for the OBAMA/BIDEN presidential campaign. Only nine other artists were part of the select group. 

Emmanuel Garcia interviews Rafael Lopez. 

Check out Rafael López’s blog to see exclusive pictures with the Quintanilla family at the first-day-of-issue ceremony and early design sketches. www.RafaelLopez.com

Gaylon Alcaraz, executive director of the Chicago Abortion Fund (CAF), talks about the controversial anti-abortion billboards featuring Obama’s image in a predominantly African-American Chicago neighborhood. 
The Chicago neighborhood of Englewood was in the news this week after a shooting left 11 people injured. As if that wasn’t enough  - also his week - Englewood was the community of choice by a Texas anti-abortion group called Life Always, to post billboards that feature President Obama’s profile with the slogan: Every 21 minutes our next possible leader is aborted. A group of protesters were at the site Tuesday to condemn the controversial ads.

Obama Featured on Anti-Abortion Ad

Within the last 10 years the hate crimes of people who identify as LGBT have made headlines around the world.  In the U.S. the brutal murder of Matthew Shepard, a 21-year old student at the University of Wyoming; sent shock-waves and ignited outrage in the community.  Since then the murders of Angie Zapata in 2008 and Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado in 2009 are a reminder of the homophobia-fueled hate that permeates our society.  Everyday LGBT's are subjected to harassment and have been the target of violence.
 
The stories of these incidents are often told by a news reporter standing in front of a police "do not cross" line, but rarely do we hear a first hand account.
 
In 2004 Adam Rash was attacked outside of a Chicago parking lot and lived to tell the story.  Listen to his story
