Bartolome de Las Casas

I am getting ready to teach American Experience tonight.

I have decided to teach this quarter doing profiles of influential people. While researching Bartolome de Las Casas, I came across this reading that Viggo Mortensen did of some of his writing. It's incredibly powerful. He reads the words in the original Spanish until 5:08 into the video, then he translates it into English.

Enjoy!
