The New Latinos (1946-1965)
Until World War II, Latino immigration to the United States was overwhelmingly Mexican-American. Now three new waves bring large-scale immigration from Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic. Hear the stories of Juanita Sanabria, Eligio Peña, Gustavo Perez Firmat, Maria de Los Angeles, and the famous actress Rita Moreno, who starred in West Side Story and won an Oscar. Explore the hybrid identity taking shape in a new generation of Latinos, who are now demanding their place in America.
