"Film and television have the ability to increase empathy by giving people the opportunity to relate to a life experience that they don’t know much about." -Dominique Nieves

#HispanicHeritageMonth

Dominique Nieves shows style and substance in “Our Lady Lupe,” the short film she made as part of #LatinoExperiencePBS. #HispanicHeritageMonth

Audiences follow a young boy who tries to help his family and along the way he learns lessons about family tradition and, maybe, a little magic. #HispanicHeritageMonth

"We’re in a place now where we need to put fear aside and really celebrate the beauty of variety." -Carlos Santana

#HispanicHeritageMonth @HHFoundation @SantanaCarlos

To describe Carlos Santana as a legend is to be modest. He has been making music that broke boundaries and melded genres for over 50 years. #HispanicHeritageMonth

From his epic performance at Woodstock in 1968 to studio recordings that mixed rock and Latin American jazz and African rhythms, Santana speaks (with his guitar) to all people on a spiritual level. #HispanicHeritageMonth
