Guillermo Fesser is a journalist from Spain who has been living in the U.S. for about a decade. He had been looking for stories to tell about Spanish speaking heroes for young Latinos living in the states. "Suddenly I found, 2 years ago, that someone was trying to hang a painting (of a Hispanic general on Capitol Hill, who helped George )Washington win the Revolutionary War against the British.
And I said 'What?!' I researched that story as a journalist and I realized yes, we have a general, who spoke Spanish, who came from Spain and led an army of Latin American people, who was crucial to (helping Washington win) that war."
