MARIA ELENA SALINAS: Let's fast forward to the day when the museum is going to open. How do you envision what you're going to feel when you walk into that museum on Inauguration Day?
ZAMANILLO: When we open our doors- that ribbon cutting is going to be very emotional for many people. I know for me, it's going to be a sense of accomplishment, feeling proud that we were able to do this. That we were able to persevere just like our people have for many years and get something done and create a legacy not only for for ourselves but for our children and our grandchildren for many to come.
BARRAGAN: I envision mariachis somewhere along the line.
CARDENAS: Absolutely. No question about it.
BARRAGAN: And lot of amazing food. And just really- I think we're going to see a turnout of, not just Latinos. I think you're going to see the diversity of people across this country that are going to come out and support this effort.
CARDENAS: When you get Cubans together and Dominicans together and Mexicans, and Guatemalans and suramericanos, etc., all of a sudden you've got a lot of talk and you've got a lot of people with a lot of different ways of looking at what the Latino experience is. And I can guarantee you this: there's going to be a lot of laughter and there's going to be a lot of joy but there's going to be tears of- just knowing we finally have our museum.
SALINAS: Teary eyed now.
CARDENAS: Yes.
SALINAS: I think we're all looking forward to that moment.
