Explore how Latino DNA has been woven into the identity of the United States since before her inception, and has been pivotal all along the way. Despite facing severe discrimination and violence, Latinos were present and contributed in pivotal ways to the fabric of this nation. Highlighting key figures and events, host John Leguizamo shows how Latinos helped build the United States we know today. | |
|
Years ago, actor John Leguizamo was helping his then eighth-grade son with a school project and found a lot less Latino history in the textbook than he expected.
"And so, as super sleuth dad, I got all these books on Latin history on Amazon and went to all the [web] sites — and I was changed," Leguizamo says. "When I found all this information, incredible countless facts and data about our contributions to the making of the U.S. and the world, I ... [went from] feeling small to feeling like a giant."
Click HERE to hear his Interview on NPR's Fresh Air to learn how he started his investigation and his very relevant remarks that "Trump spins lies on taxes and inflation, and Latinos believe it."

The Rise of the Latino Far Right
The votes of 63 million Latino Americans will be a deciding factor in the November election. Despite his history of anti-immigration rhetoric, Donald Trump has been making inroads with this constituency, which in the past leaned Democratic.
On October 1, 2024, the PBS show Amanpour and Company aired “The Rise of the Latino Far Right:” Why Latinos Are Turning Out for Trump. Christiane Amanpour interviews award-winning journalist Paola Ramos who investigates this shift in her new book "Defectors: The Rise of the Latino Far Right and What It Means for America."
| |
|
|
From the Elser Hotel in Downtown Miami, Dan Le Batard, Stugotz and company share their unique perspectives on all-things sports, pop-culture and more. On September 26, 2024, Dan spoke with Paola Ramos to discuss her book "Defectors: The Rise of the Latino Far Right." She and Dan dive into the story of Enrique Tarrio, a Miami-Cuban who was leader of The Proud Boys, and how Latinos in America can be swayed into have an anti-immigration stance.
