Bay State Banner: Demographer says majority of U.S. will be black, Latino or Asian by 2050

An editorial in The Bay State Banner in Massachusetts about the last week's confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor as the newest justice on the U.S. Supreme Court looks at the nation's growing minority population, and reports that according to demographer Peter Rogerson, professor of geography, more than half of all the people born in the United States since 1776 were alive around 1997, a number that he says will not change until 2030, and that between 2040 and 2050 the majority population of the U.S. will be either black, Latino or Asian.
