John Leguizamo to Chat LATIN HISTORY FOR MORONS on METROFOCUS Tonight

Tonight, following an acclaimed run at The Public Theater, Emmy Award-winning actor and activist John Leguizamo joins New York's local PBS newsmagazine "MetroFocus" and host Jenna Flannigan to talk about the upcoming Broadway opening of his one-man show Latin History For Morons at Studio 54.

In the interview, Leguizamo shares how bullying was the genesis for the show:

"My son was being bullied at school" He continues: "And so I started doing research because I wanted to empower my son, to have the word and the facts to defend himself verbally, because you know, I think violence is the lowest form of communication and I just think words are the most peaceful and powerful form, so I wanted to give him those words. So I started doing research and I started to feel like, wait a minute, I'm THE ONE that's being empowered. I'm THE ONE whose self-worth is being healed."

Leguizamo also weighs in on the aid crisis in Puerto Rico as well as President Trump's conflict with the NFL.
