Congratulations to Bad Bunny on winning Album of the Year in a groundbreaking win. He makes history as the first Spanish-language artist to win the Grammy top prize.

A Boricua win. An American win.
For those who question if Puerto Ricans are American….quick history check:

Puerto Rico was invaded by the U.S. in 1898 and ceded by Spain after the Spanish-American War. In 1917, Puerto Ricans were granted U.S. citizenship under the Jones Act.
Two months later, the U.S. passed the Selective Service Act.

About 20,000 Puerto Ricans were drafted to fight in World War I.

Historians agree: one of the key motivations for granting citizenship was to make Puerto Ricans eligible for the draft.

Puerto Ricans have fought and died in America’s name. It’s long overdue that they be allowed to vote for President.

When Charlie Perry shared Spirit Plate at the NAACP Hollywood Bureau during Native American Heritage Month, it opened a moment of reflection on the layered, complex experiences of Indigenous Americans and African Americans. Charlie began the day with a land acknowledgement that grounded us in the history beneath our feet and the ongoing fight for Indigenous food sovereignty. Through food, story, and shared history, we build bridges and commit to understanding the full complexity of our story as Americans. Watch episodes of SPIRIT PLATE streaming on the PBSFood YouTube Channel now!

Yasmin Elhady lit up The People’s Party stage with her brilliance, wit and beauty. Proof that comedy can be unifying…and also slightly dangerous if you’re drinking water while watching!

Big love to the MPAC Hollywood Bureau for sponsoring this powerful moment of connection between communities.

And if you haven’t already, check Yasmin out on Muslim Matchmaker on Hulu. She’s unforgettable. Let’s always put love (and never, ever hate) on top!

The greatest honor for @civicsissexyhq was to present @thedowdjones singing his @fishbonesoldier hits with @traceyspaceyt.singleton accompanying him on guitar at The People’s Party. Fishbone is one of the most legendary, massively influential, and under-appreciated bands in America. Phenomenal songwriters who have been making civics sexy for four decades. If you haven't heard them look them up. They did an unplugged acoustic set which was a first for them in this format!

Narrative + emotional

Born from a question — how equal is one person, one vote?

The answer led filmmaker Maximina Juson from tracing the Electoral College’s roots in slavery… to standing at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.

History met the present that day — and the camera didn’t look away.

🇵🇷 Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens 🇺🇸 and have been since 1917.

They can serve in the military, pay federal taxes, and carry U.S. passports… but can’t vote for president or have voting members in Congress. 🤔
