From PBS, this is the "first major documentary series for television to chronicle the rich and varied history and experiences of Latinos, who have helped shape North America over the last 500-plus years and have become, with more than 50 million people, the largest minority group in the U.S. . . . It is a story of immigration and redemption, of anguish and celebration, of the gradual construction of a new American identity that connects and empowers millions of people today."
"This interactive exhibition features a mural that celebrates the many strands of Latin music across the Americas. Click on any area of the mural to hear the music and to meet the musicians. In English and Spanish. Created by Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage."
