Hi Sunshinz.

I looked up "contributions of Hispanics" and got this, this, and this, which says that "The contributions of Hispanics to the development and success of America are woven into almost every segment of the nation's history."

Here's a large wikipedia article on Hispanic Americans.

Hispanics in the USA- What I know

Hispanics have helped form the United States from the very beginning. Since the Revolutionary War they have aided the nation in every major war from outside and from within. Hispanics have recieved more Congressional Medals of Honor than any other identifiable ethnic group and have consistently recieved awards for heroism out of proportion to the actual population of Hispanics. Puerto Rico is the second-highest American jurisdiction in per capita war casualties. They have fought for almost 100 years despite their inability to vote for the Commander-In-Chief.

Hispanics have delivered American on-screen cultural icons like Sammy Davis Junior, and Raquel Welch. Sports icons have included Ted Williams, Sammy Sosa and Atanasio "Tony" Pérez and Roberto Clemente. Hispanic musical talents are formidable throughout American history, Tito Puente and current stars like Tatyana Ali and Mariah Carey representing only the tip of the iceberg. Several historians claim, over protests of other historians, that Walt Disney was born in Almeria, Spain as José Luís Giráo and later adopted by Elias Disney.
