This was an actual event that took place several years ago.&lt;br /&gt;
We were reminded of this story in light of recent events.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This story was shot as part of&lt;br /&gt;
Guess Who's Coming To...&lt;br /&gt;
An evening of stories told by a typical American couple, the Figueroas. He is a Swedish-Puerto Rican television aficionado. She is an African-American Jane Pauley sound-alike shopaholic. The audience will follow their adventures in and over America as they stray from the normalcy of their home, Hollywood, CA.&lt;br /&gt;
