Dr. Jill Biden stood before a packed hotel banquet room this week in San Antonio and tried to inspire everyone by talking about her husband's record on Latino issues.

Speaking at the national convention of UnidosUS, a civil rights organization known for decades as the National Council of La Raza, the first lady praised the vision of longtime president Raul Yzaguirre to build a nonprofit that didn't focus on just one Latino group.
