Sure we all know there are lots of statues in Philadelphia commemorating Benjamin Franklin and the other Founding Fathers, but did you know there are also several statues of Latin American revolutionaries?
The book is a photo journal divided into four sections that provides an interesting timeline, it starts with the first Latinos arriving mainly from Cuba and Spain in the late 1700s, followed by family life pictures from 1940-1980, to current event photos from 1980-1990, and ends with pictures of the last twenty years.

It makes for a fun coffee table book to browse in your living room. You will see pictures ranging from Tito Puente singing at the annual Hispanic Festival, to then First Lady, Hillary Clinton visiting classrooms, to heartthrob, Cristiano Ronaldo trying to score a goal against the Philadelphia Union soccer team. More importantly you see a history of Philadelphian Latinos trabajando duro, participating in their communities and making a name for themselves.
