Laura Goyanes, Mike Muñoz, Anthony Carreño, Bill Wear and I continue our conversation about their Spanish heritage in the United States and they explain how the Spanish immigrants to the United States became "invisible".
For more than ten years, NYU Professor James Fernández and journalist Luis Argeo have been researching the little known history of Spanish emigration to the United States. Thanks to their persistence and the enthusiastic colloboration of American descendents of Spanish immigrants, they have been reconstructing this history, which has taken form in a beautiful book of photographs and other memorabilia entitled: Invisible immigrants Spaniards in the United States 1868-1945.
