The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) is participating in a national
outreach campaign focused on health issues in conjunction with the premiere
of the new season of the acclaimed public television dramatic series,
American Family. The new season of American Family, "Journey of Dreams,"
chronicles the multigenerational saga of one family's pursuit of the American
Dream. It begins airing on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) April 4.

This year's American Family traces the history of the Gonzalez family from the
Mexican Revolution to today. Award-winning writer/director Gregory Nava is
the creator and executive producer of American Family which has gathered

including Edward James Olmos, Constance Marie, Raquel Welch, Sonia
Braga, Esai Morales, Yancey Arias, Jesse Borrego, Patricia Velasquez, and
Kate del Castillo. The American Family Web site includes Web pages on
