Hispanic Lawmakers Threaten PBS

Hispanic lawmakers are upset with PBS and they are taking action.....The group has been critical of the network since news leaked that the upcoming 14 hour PBS WWII documentary did not include the contributions of Hispanics. The fight escalated when the director's representative stated the film would not be re-edited, even though PBS hired a Latino film maker to help acquire additional footage for the movie.

Hispanic lawmakers are now threating to strip PBS funding if they don't remedy the situation. Read more on the politico.com

Also here is a video from YouTube on Hispanics in the military
