Hi . . Tuesday a meeting is being held in Washington at the offices of
the National PBS headquarters to solve the problem of the exclusion of
Latinos in the 14-hour documentary by Ken Burns. Let us hope that
solutions will be reached.

To write to your representatives and elected officials, here is a URL to
help you connect. Where the two XX are at the end of the URL, just
substitute your state's 2 letter postal abbreviation.

Includes the phone, fax number and URL for that office
