The Hispanic American History Journal
An archive of English-language articles on the internet
INTRODUCING A NEW SECTION in HiddenHispanicHeritage.com
While the content of this website has been entirely produced by me and my students, I have now created "The Hispanic American History Journal," featuring links to some of the best English-language articles posted on Facebook by members of The Hispanic Reconquest of American History, the Facebook support group for this website.
These are articles that are related to our mission of exposing our hidden Hispanic heritage in the United States. If you come across an article that you think should be posted here, please join The Hispanic Reconquest of American History and post it there first. The idea is to create a huge bank of Internet resources – created by all of us – for those who want to do further research - beyond the more than 200 articles written by me and my students.
Why is this journal a compilation of links to only English-language articles? 1. Because, although it would be wonderful to build an archive of all the Spanish-language articles that have been posted on our FB group page, it would take a huge staff of researchers. 2. Because although our group page was intended to be bilingual, the number of Spanish-language postings has been so overwhelming that English-language postings are hard to find. 3. Because I want to make these English language articles more easily available for my students, and for everyone who doesn't read Spanish.
My intention is to create a quick-reference bank of English-language articles (including my own) about the history of Hispanics is what is now the United States - and to group them by topics. For example, to begin our journal, I have created its first two topic/sections. What do you think?

Where Is the Smithsonian Museum for American Latinos?Nov. 15, 2020 - The New York Times
By Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Ken Salazar Advocates for the National Museum of the American Latino Act in the House of Representatives. The National Mall in Washington is where we inaugurate presidents, march for change and learn about America’s history at monuments and the Smithsonian Institution museums. And yet, even as Latinos have helped shape this great nation, our stories don’t have a permanent home in the capital. In 1994, a task force outlined the ways in which the Smithsonian “almost entirely excludes and ignores Latinos in nearly every aspect of its operations.” Its report, “Willful Neglect,” offered 10 recommendations for improvement . . .
