I contacted PBS that Ken Burns was leaving us out. Did you? Secondly, why are Mexican people left out of history? Did you write yours and get it published? Even a letter-to-the-editor is read by many. <br />Each of us needs to share our dreams, our accomplishments, by communicating. No one knows about us if we don't speak up.<br />Carolina in ArizonaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-4317549503054611092007-11-12T19:59:00.000-07:002007-11-12T19:59:00.000-07:00Let PBS' successful campaign to write us out of US...Let PBS' successful campaign to write us out of US history (baseball, no latinos; jazz, no latinos) be its own reward. I urge all who have donated money to their local public broadcasting station to spend that money on yourselves. Obviously, PBS doesn't deserve your money or respect. <BR/><BR/>mvsmsedanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09527530005391318421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-27935640278914721052007-11-12T17:25:00.000-07:002007-11-12T17:25:00.000-07:00"When we learned from Gus Chavez of Defend the Hon..."When we learned from Gus Chavez of Defend the Honor Campaign that in the book version of the documentary, other than one reference to Mexicans when describing the population of Sacramento, Burns excludes any reference to the Latinos who served in our armed forces."<BR/><BR/>What an impoverished time we live in, what a narrow small man. I will not be watching Ken Burns again, and I'll let my local PBS station know why. <BR/><BR/>Daniel, you do our heroes a great service as do all the the writers who bear witness.Lisa Alvaradohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12616301846407752378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-22831655562333182652007-11-12T15:14:00.000-07:002007-11-12T15:14:00.000-07:00Daniel:Very appropriate post for Veterans' Day.

And we should look closely at and speak out about the policies that require such sacrifice. In terms of Iraq I'd suggest the recent movie, In the Valley of Elah.Manuel Ramoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360072661844419063noreply@blogger.com
