Faces of America

During class we watched two films in the series called Faces of America. This show focused on a few people know nation wide with many different cultural backgrounds. These films showed us the importance of knowing their own family history and the journeys many of their ancestors had to take to get to this country.

One of the films had Desperate Housewife star Eva Longoria and it discussed her family history, and how her family was very important in the state of Texas. It showed some of the sacrifices her family had to make before she was even born, and this helped her to get where she is today, This shows the importance of how family history can effect a person, because she learned some new things about her ancestors she didn't know before.
