U.S. Latinos May Get a National Museum of Their Own
Hispanics colonized the New World, discovered Florida, fought for the United States in every major war, shaped cities like Miami and Los Angeles and have become a sought-after electorate.However, no national museum exists to tell their story exclusively. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, hopes that will change in a few years.
Ros-Lehtinen is the lead Republican sponsor of a bill recently passed by Congress that paves the way for the National Museum of the American Latino. The bill creates a 23-member commission that would look into the logistics and practicality of creating such a museum. Supporters hope it will be built as part of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. There are no details yet on who will serve on the commission, which was authorized in May.
