“Leguizamo Does America” an MSNBC production, kicked off its second season in la ciudad del amor fraternal y sisterly affection—Philadelphia—and Esperanza was honored to be part of it.
During the visit, Rev. Luis Cortés Jr., President and CEO of Esperanza, had a profound conversation with John Leguizamo about the future of Latinos in America while they toured our beloved barrio along North 5th Street—La Cinco.
This season, John travels across the country—starting in Philadelphia—to celebrate Latino excellence, resilience, joy, and the significant impact our communities have had on shaping America. From artists and entrepreneurs to activists and cultural leaders, the series highlights stories that often go unheard and unrecognized.
It’s part history, part road trip, and all heart—a powerful tribute to our contributions, our struggles, and our future.
¡Gracias, John, por celebrar de dónde venimos y hacia dónde vamos!
