Sixto llega a Nueva York en marzo de 2020 para hacerse cargo de una herencia. El último miembro de una familia puertorriqueña en East Harlem ha fallecido. No sabe mucho sobre los puertorriqueños en Nueva York. Básicamente, su única referencia es la película West Side Story. Por lo tanto, Sixto tiene una idea preconcebida de ellos. Lo que desconoce es que este lugar se convirtió en la embajada no oficial de Puerto Rico durante la década de 1920. Está a punto de descubrir la verdadera historia positiva y no contada del pueblo puertorriqueño en Estados Unidos.
Part of Sesquicentenario: In commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, EAC will feature several programs that celebrate explore the Latino Voice and the American Landscape.
