YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The idea for a national museum dedicated to showcasing the artistic, musical, literary, political and other socio-economic contributions of Latino Americans was first discussed a quarter of a century ago.

While the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino is still at least a decade away from completion, it’s already hit a snag. With a very diverse community of Latinos, conservative and liberal, having roots in Europe, Central America, South America and Africa, who controls the future of U.S. Latino history? In recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month, we take a look at the controversy with Maria Elena Salinas, a broadcast journalist and ABC News contributor, who has worked in Spanish-language television for much of her career.
