Great new PBS series: VOCES American Historia: The Untold History of Latinos (with John Leguizamo)

"Join John Leguizamo on a journey into the rich and often overlooked history of Latinos."

Two hour-long episodes so far, with great visuals and expert commentary. The first episode starts with the Spanish encountering the Taino in the Caribbean.

BTW, this is his second series - the first one concentrated on specific cities.

If anyone is interested, the Taino people's story is covered in great detail by James Michener in 'The Carribean'... highly recommended.
