Rediscovering Latinidad

Rediscovering Latinidad is made with love and dedication to the art of family history. Too often the search for family history can seem Eurocentric and inefficient for those identifying as Latiné, LatinX, and anywhere in between. Let’s share our stories, our resources, and discuss why this all matters. In the search for who we are, we can understand more from our ancestors and their stories.

  Episode #3

  Season 9 Episode 3 De Aquí Para Siempre ¡Knicks en Cinco y La Copa Mundial, y Un Verano de Excelencia!

  Oct 1, 20261h 12mS9

  On today's episode we are joined by MLS commentator Jon Yardley, as we discuss the summer of 2026 and sports in NYC. New York City in the summer of 2026 felt like magic. The Knicks were NBA champions. The World Cup had arrived in North America. Flags hung from windows and appeared on jerseys all over the city. Bars and restaurants became unofficial headquarters for national teams thousands of miles away. Families gathered around televisions. Strangers celebrated together. And for Latino New Yorkers especially, sports became another language for talking about identity, migration, family and belonging.In this episode of Rediscovering Latinidad, we’re looking back at an extraordinary summer of sports, and at the Latino and Hispanic athletes, fans and communities at the center of it.We start at Madison Square Garden with the New York Knicks’ first NBA championship since 1973 . New York defeated San Antonio in five games, with Jalen Brunson delivering 45 points in the championship: clinching Game 5 and winning Finals MVP. We talk about experiencing that run as New Yorkers, the insanity of the Finals, what a Knicks championship meant after 53 years, and the role of Dominican-American Karl-Anthony Towns and Puerto Rican Brooklyn native José Alvarado in a championship team that looked a little more like the city celebrating it. And somehow, New York’s sports summer was only getting started.The 2026 FIFA World Cup brought fútbol directly into the neighborhoods of one of the world’s great immigrant cities. And yes. We have to talk about Lionel Messi . Argentina arrived as defending world champions and made it all the way back to the final, giving us one last enormous World Cup chapter for Messi. And the championship match couldn’t have been staged much closer to us: Spain vs. Argentina in New York/New Jersey. Spain finally broke the scoreless match in extra time, with Ferran Torres scoring in the 106th minute to win 1–0 and give Spain its second men’s World Cup title. Join us for a fun episode!

  Season 8 Episode 13 Los latinos en la Revolución Americana (America 250)

  Jul 2, 202658 minS8

  As America approaches its 250th anniversary, we ask a question that doesn’t get asked nearly enough: Where were Latinos during the American Revolution? The answer may surprise you. In this special episode of Rediscovering Latinidad, we explore the often-overlooked role that Spanish America, Latino military leaders, Black communities under Spanish rule, and Hispanic families played in the founding of what would become the United States. From Bernardo de Gálvez, whose military victories helped secure the Gulf Coast and divert British resources, to Francisco de Miranda, whose revolutionary ideals connected struggles for independence across the Atlantic, we examine how Latino history has always been part of the American story. We also travel to colonial St. Augustine, where Spain offered freedom to many enslaved people fleeing British colonies. This episode reminds us that America’s story has never belonged to one people alone.
