Latinos in America is the first major televised documentary series to chronicle the rich and varied history and experiences of Latinos, who have helped shape North America over the last 500-plus years and who have become, with more than 50 million people, the largest minority group in the U.S.

Episode 5, Pride and Prejudice, details the creation of the proud “Chicano” identity, as labor leaders organized farm workers in California, and as activists pushed for better education opportunities for Latinos, the inclusion of Latino studies, and empowerment in the political process.
