'cause this country wasn't made without us. it was made because of us. [cheers and applause] in the meantime, i'm gonna get a sneak peak of the new latin history exhibit at the smithsonian with director jorge zamanillo. - welcome to the national museum of american history, john. - i love it. - this is the molina family latino gallery. it's really the first physical presence of the national museum of the american latino. - finally, thank you! - yeah, let me show you around. - yeah, please, please. i'm so curious, because i love history. what about latin culture did you feel that we have to offer america? - well, one thing i discovered when i first visited museums here in d.c. is that they did a great job telling the american narrative, the american history that we learned in textbooks, but i didn't see our story being told, right? - yeah, hello? - so that representation was missing. i knew we had to tell the stories. - there's so many americans that think we just got here, like, yesterday... - right. - when we've been here for 500 years, and then before that, we were these incredible empires. that's a lot of history, a lot of museum artifacts.
