Facundo the Great - StoryCorps #Animated Oral History Project

StoryCorps, America's largest oral history project, recently debuted a brand new animated short —Facundo the Great —and we think it's totally share-worthy.

Ramon "Chunky" Sanchez was raised in a small farming community in southern California in the 1950s. As was common practice at that time, teachers at his local elementary school Anglicized the Mexican American students' names. Here, Chunky remembers a new classmate who proved to be the exception to the rule.
