PBS and Latino Public Broadcasting have partnered to bring back "VOCES", a documentary series which explores Latino arts and culture, for a third season. In the past, "VOCES" (which translates to voices in English) has told the stories of Latino writers, artists, musicians, activists, actors, and poets. The series will run in September, during Hispanic Heritage Month. (Source: PBS)
