This is a great read from a great community.

Come on Kennedys… Only 2 Latinos worth honoring in 32 years?

30 Dec

“Latinos first connected as a voting bloc during the 1960 Presidential election and overwhelmingly voted to elect John F. Kennedy. That election began a long and endearing rapture between the Latino
community and the Kennedy family. Bobby Kennedy marched along side
Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta during our Civil Rights struggle and
Teddy Kennedy took up our mantel in the Senate until the final days of
his life fighting for Immigration and Health Care Reform. The Kennedy
Center Honors was meant to highlight the diverse contribution of artists
to America. Somewhere along the way, the Kennedy legacy of Latino
empowerment and inclusion got lost on the producers of the Kennedy
Center Honors.”
