Republican senator blocks Latino, women s history museums ABCNews Bipartisan efforts that would have established a National Museum of the American Latino and an American Women s History Museum on the National Mall failed Thursday evening at the hands of Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, who argued that such museums would only further divide an already fractured America. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., asked the Senate to unanimously pass a bill, already approved by the House, which would have established the National Museum of the American Latino. I am not white or Black or Native American, I am Latino, Menendez said. I am 1 in 5 Americans today. My grandchildren are 1 in 4 school children today. When we walk to the National Mall or when . anyone walks to the National Mall, no one is inspired by the story of Latinos and Latinas in this country because that story is not being told.
