“The war is over ””
Not that war but the one waged against documentarian Ken Burns by those of us frustrated that he left out any mention of the Latino contribution in his next marathon film for PBS regarding WWII titled The War.
Though I have to admit that I hesitate to declare “Mission Accomplished” with this battle, its pretty clear that Burns feels he has done his part in placating la raza by adding an extra 30 minutes of material featuring Latino and Native American stories that were “forgotten” in the original piece.”
