John Leguizamo is on a mission, a much needed mission to recognize, humanize, and reward Hispanics & Latinos in our contributions in this country. He is passing the message we must be proud of our heritage because it has a rich history and we are family. Gracias John.❤

I follow Mr. Leguizamo’s work. I’m happy to see that people from all over the US and the world be honored. We are all human beings, and what differences there are should be celebrated and storied for all to share.
