the Dead and many other holidays in the Catholic religious calendar. According to another report, "Mexicans [in Omaha] celebrate Holy Week, one of the most important events in the Catholic liturgy, in remarkable public spectacles." Culture Today South Omaha is also home to El Museo Latino, located at 4701½ South 25th Street. Dedicated to Latino arts, the museum includes local, regional, national, and international exhibits. In addition to providing school tours and sponsoring a performing dance group, the museum features exhibits, family activities, art and cultural classes, and special events. It is a local repository for copies of the Omaha-related materials collected through the "Mexican American Traditions in Nebraska" project of the Nebraska State Historical Society. Nebraskans for Peace is another organization that seeks to advocate and assist Mexican Americans and Mexicans in Omaha. Assimilation In the 1970s demographers first starting noticing the reluctance of Omaha's Mexican-American population to assimilate into American culture. Morality and values, food, language, and cultural ties have all been cited as important attributes of Mexican culture that recent immigrants and long-time Mexican Americans in Omaha, Nebraska want to maintain. The lack of participation of Mexican-Americans in Omaha in the administration and reform of health care has also been noted as further evidence of the absence of desire to assimilate. Mexican-Americans have begun to exert political influence in Omaha. Spanish-language newspapers sold in Omaha include Nuestro Mundo, El Perico, La Vision Latina, and El Sol de las Americas. The Mexican Consulate was located in Omaha at 3552 Dodge Street. A 2007 neo-Nazi rally in Omaha drew 65 participants to a protest outside the consulate. Thousands were involved in counter-protests, as well as events celebrating the diversity of the city. The Mexican Consulate has since moved to 7444 Farnam Street.
