“Singers performed a Spanish-language version of the national anthem at Ellis Island, once the gateway to America for more than 12 million immigrants.

With the Manhattan skyline behind them, Tony Sunshine and others sang “Nuestro Himno,” which created a public backlash in April and led President Bush to declare “the national anthem ought to be sung in English.””
