Don’t segregate proposed Hispanic-American museum
Posted on: March 22nd, 2007“It passed the House by unanimous voice vote last month, and earlier this week a bipartisan group of senators made sure there was a friendly hearing on legislation to establish in Washington, D.C., what is provisionally called the National Museum of the American Latino Community.
At the heart of it, you have the seeds of a museum that will showcase contributions Hispanics have made to the U.S. starting two-and-a-half centuries before there even was a U.S. The museum has the potential to finally bring Hispanics into the narrative of American culture and U.S. history. I should think its a fantastic idea. So why do I feel uneasy about the whole thing?”
