In this episode: Roughly 10% of people living in Putnam County are hispanic. It’s the fastest growing minority in Putnam County and in Tennessee. Will you tell us about the origins of El Puente and what led you to creating this organization? You’re white. That might be blunt to say, but it’s true. You’re a caucasian person that’s created a community to help our hispanic neighbors. What role do white people play in being of service to minorities and how do we better love our neighbor? What do you wish people knew about the hispanic community in the Upper Cumberland?
