Latinos and Ken Burns

When I first read the post about Burns and the letter written to PBS about not including Latinos in the WWII documentary, I was so mad! I wondered "Why not?'. Why not include Latinos in the history of war, are we not a part of history. I read a little bit about Burns and I still did not see where he stated why he did not include Latinos in the first place but I would sure like to know. It hurt me because it makes Latinos proud, just like whites or blacks, to see that their people fought for their country and put their lives at stake. I do think that he was discriminating.
But I will get off my soap box. I do feel like Latinos lack media coverage and respect. Language is our biggest barrier. People don't take Hispanics seriously because most cannot speak good English and because a lot of us don't live too well. Well, my family is the perfect example of making something of our lives. My mother was single and had one child-me, and she went to the Army to make something of herself, serve her country and take care of me. She never got to go to college but she raised my siblings and I well. Well enough for me to be in college and about to graduate, to have my siblings in sports. Hispanics are not given enough opportunities-we have to take it. I think that if Hispanics stepped up and learned the language and got some kind of further education, we not only could be the biggest minority but the biggest minority making a difference.
