| Description: In 2007 acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns released a documentary on World War II that triggered an angry response from Latino Americans who claimed that their role had been ignored. Arnold Garcia, an editor for the American Statesman of Austin, Texas, published a Memorial Day tribute to Latino servicemen, including his father, Arnulfo Garcia, pictured here, who was inducted into the U.S. Army in 1944. Arnold Garcia wrote that his father had regarded World War II as the “best thing” that had ever happened to him because it had conferred the rights and respect other Americans took for granted. “The Struggle for Latino civil rights was every bit as epic—albeit not as bloody—as World War II,” Arnold Garcia wrote.
