Eduardo Quezada comenta sobre la controversial serie de PBS que relata las batallas de la segunda Guerra Mundial pero que no incluye la perspectiva de los soldados Hispanos. Presentadora de Noticias: Nancy Agosto. Se estima que cerca de medio millon de latinos participaron en las fuerzas armadas durante ese conflicto, pero en 14 horas de programacion no estan incluidos. PBS and Ken Burns ignored the role played by Hispanic Americans in the World War II documentary The War , yes in the war they were all Americans, but if they were "all americans" why were many latinos, like my uncle, discriminated against when they returned home. They had to face segregation and exclusion when it came to using bathrooms, some were denied entry to restaurants. I have been told ugly stories about how they excluded mexican children from using public pools. How about the Zoot Suit story.? No, I am not bitter, I am just amazed at this type of incidents. If not PBS, then who is going to tell the story about our soldiers. Yes, we are all americann, but I want to see the war stories with faces that resemble my uncles and other relatives that fought in the war. "History belongs to the victors" but in this case the victors did not belong to just one race, please include them all, so our children can continue to be proud of our ancestor's contributions for a better America.
