Hispanic Biographies:
Friends Past and Present
¡Qué explosión latina en los Estados Unidos! Look what we have done for history, music, sports, art, television, motion pictures, etc. The future’s here, and Latinos are standing up and being recognized.
The television station that you work for, whose ratings are low wants to air a live broadcast, in hopes of boosting their ratings. Your job as host depends on obtaining famous Hispanic people from the past and/or present to join you in an effort to help the American people discover and understand more about the lives and works of these important role models. ¡ Buena Suerte!
