Desi's Presence Still Felt

We all know him as Ricky Ricardo, but Desi Arnaz is just one of the many Latinos that made history. Desi was not only an actor, he was a Cuban musician, comedian, and producer. He was one of the very first Latinos on a television series. The series, I Love Lucy, was based on his marriage to Lucille Ball and is still popular today. He's an important person for Hispanic Heritage month and I truly admire his character both on T.V. and in real life.
