Obama said commission members Gilberto Cardenas and Jose B. Fernandez were reappointed to the panel.

I am pleased to appoint these outstanding men and women to the Commission to Study the Potential Creation of a National Museum of the American Latino — a museum that would be dedicated to celebrating the history and achievements of Latinos in America,” Obama said.
