John Leguizamo reflects on the rise of the new empire, the United States, and the challenges faced by Latinos in preserving their cultural identity. Throughout the 20th century, Latinos were often relegated to the fringes of mainstream society. Nonetheless, they made profound contributions to the fabric of the U.S. and beyond.

Reflecting on his journey, John learns that Latinos are not just an asterisk in history, but that Latino history is the history of the United States.
