Latina Lista: The 30th Annivesary of Roots Stirs Thoughts of That its Time to Recognize Latino Journeys to this Country
Tagged: blog, documentary, Latina ListaPosted on: April 8th, 2007“What was probably the most historic implication of the mini-series, in addition to telling the story of African Americans for really the first time on a mainstream network, was how all ethnicities embraced the show.
It was educational in that it cleared up any doubts as to how slaves were treated, but more importantly, the roles they and their descendants had in shaping the history of this country.
Its rather ironic that this year should be the 30th anniversary of this show when the Latino community right now is just trying to fight for inclusion in the Ken Burns documentary about WWII.”
