helping young children have free summer experiences and make sure
that kids excel academically in their communities. Why don't you

interesting to kids. So I made it as funny as
(03:16):
possible talking about you know that that Latin people fought
in the American Revolutionary War ten thousand of us for
twenty thousand and fought in the Civil War. Uh, five
thousand of us fought in the sacrificed our lives in

heroes our empires, you know, like the Tanos were three
million in the Caribbean, thirty three million Incas in South America,

thirty million Aztecs in Mexico. Uh we gave the world chocolate, avocado, papaya, anesthesia,

the world grew from like as it started. It's grown
so much. The world's grown so much, and we contributed
to the making of the world. That's what I wanna
