Quote from John Leguizamo: Defend Against the Federal Attack on the Arts

From John Leguizamo: Defend Against the Federal Attack on the Arts, a guest column in the New York Daily News:

Authoritarians seek to erase the past and create their own skewed national narrative. This history that this [Trump] administration would like to remove is that of Black people; the heritage they want to deny is that of immigrants; the contributions they want to ignore are that of Latinos; the story they don't want told is that of indigenous Americans.
