I know it's late but y'all have to watch this.

Tom was born in Miama to Cuban immigrants fleeing political repression, working at Telemundo starting at 15 and now anchors of NBC Nightly News—the first Latino to anchor a major evening news broadcast.

And this segment? A heartwarming tearjerker.

Whole segment is so sweet, taking Al through the town and sharing what he grew up with and is proud of.

Right???

Like I know it's not "news" in the traditional sense, but it's better than those "kid sells cookies to pay for janitor's cancer treatment" feel-good stories that only serve to highlight the broken systems in our broken country fadslkjh
