America By The Numbers with Maria Hinojosa: Clarkston Georgia is the story of a small town of 7,500 people that has gone from being 90% white in the 1980s to less than 14% white today. Located in the shadow of Stone Mountain, once a gathering place for Ku Klux Klancross burnings, today Clarkston, Georgia is home to thousands of refugees from Vietnam, Somalia, Iraq and Bhutan – along with some 40 other countries. The program is a look at one of the most diverse communities in America and how changing demographics are reshaping the political landscape in America.[2]
Critical receptionedit
Early critical reception has been positive. Esther Cepeda of The Holland Sentinel states that the program is "simply an example of how diversity truly plays a leading role in helping the melting pot make new Americans out of recent arrivals. It's also a celebration of an America where a Hispanic journalist can skillfully illuminate the experiences of a unique group of recent immigrants and their nervous neighbors without ever having to utter a word of Spanish."[3]
