In 1902, Isabel González arrived in Ellis Island, pregnant, alone and with only $11.00 in her pocket. She —like others before her— was detained for being an "alien" and at risk of becoming a "burden" on the state. But Isabel took her fight to the courts, defending her right to stay in the country that had invaded her homeland just four years earlier. She fought all the way to the Supreme Court where she argued for citizenship. In this excerpt from Futuro Studios’ series “La Brega” we learn about her legacy, and about a more recent similar challenge. Original episode art by Elizabeth Barreto.

The U.S. is considering lifting sanctions on some Iranian oil. The Washington Post’s Evan Halper explains why. Fallout from revelations about Latino civil-rights icon Cesar Chavez have been swift as institutions move to strip his name off of buildings, parks and other sites. Gustavo Arellano of the Los Angeles Times joins to discuss the reaction. The identity of the artist known as Banksy has reportedly been revealed. Blake Morrison of Reuters breaks down how he and his colleagues unraveled the mystery. Plus, why ABC canceled the upcoming season of ‘The Bachelorette,' Sen. Markwayn Mullin moved one step closer to becoming DHS secretary, and a commemorative gold coin featuring President Trump was approved. Today’s episode was hosted by Cecilia Lei.

California will rename Cesar Chavez Day after the New York Times reported Wednesday that the labor icon had sexually abused, assaulted and raped girls and women, including his longtime collaborator Dolores Huerta. The Times' yearslong investigation, which was corroborated by more than 60 interviews and hundreds of farmworker union records, broke decades of silence by Chavez's victims, who said they refrained from speaking for fear of tarnishing the union leader's storied reputation. As Californians reel from revelations that upend popular assumptions about Chavez, we talk about how his legacy's being reshaped and hear your reactions. Guests: Miriam Pawel, journalist and author, "The Crusades of Cesar Chavez: A Biography" Manny Fernandez, California editor-at-large, The New York Times Matthew J. Garcia, professor of Latin American, Latino and Caribbean studies, Dartmouth College; author, "From the Jaws of Victory: The Triumph and Tragedy of Cesar Chavez and the Farm Workers Movement" Alexandra Macedo, assemblywoman representing California's 33rd assembly district, which includes Fresno County, Kings County and Tulare County Learn more about your ad choices.

For decades, Cesar Chavez's name has been synonymous with workers’ rights. School buildings and streets bear his name. Alongside Chavez always stood Dolores Huerta. She’s a co-founder of the National Farm Workers Association and together they led a movement that profoundly transformed working conditions for farmworkers in the U.S. Now, Dolores speaks to Latino USA about being sexually assaulted by Cesar Chavez in her first interview after the New York Times revealed allegations of abuse of young victims, including minors, and the sacrifice she felt she had to make for the well-being of the movement. Trigger Warning: We should mention that parts of this story might be disturbing for some of our listeners.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee Wednesday. NBC News reports on how Gabbard declined to say whether Iran had posed an imminent threat before the war began. A Times of Israel correspondent says he received death threats about his reporting on a missile strike in Jerusalem from bettors on the prediction site Polymarket. Will Oremus of the Washington Post explains what happened next. The men’s NCAA basketball tournament is underway. The Athletic’s Joe Rexrode shares the stories of past Cinderella’s of the tournament. Plus, a New York Times investigation found that revered Latino civil-rights leader Cesar Chavez sexually abused two underage girls, the Federal Reserve again kept interest rates steady, and why Senegal was stripped of its Africa Cup soccer title. Today’s episode was hosted by Cecilia Lei.

95-year-old Dolores Huerta waited 60 years to finally tell her story of sexual abuse by once beloved labor rights leader Cesar Chavez. Huerta co-founded the United Farm Workers Association with Chavez back in the 1960s. Even though Chavez died more than 3 decades ago, we’re only now hearing from dozens of women after a New York Times investigation detailed decades of abuse from women who say they were as young as 12 when Chavez began to sexually abuse them. Hear how the Chavez family is reacting, how the Labor union he founded is responding and why streets, buildings and celebrations may all change because of this investigation.

A major investigation by the New York Times is raising serious allegations about Cesar Chavez, one of the most admired figures in Latino civil rights history. The reporting includes accounts from multiple women, including co-organizer and civil rights leader, Dolores Huerta. They say Chavez sexually abused them, in some cases, when they were children. Guest: Gustavo Arellano, LA Times Following the harrowing accounts from these women, the United Farm Workers union is now distancing itself from Chavez, its co-founder. In Sacramento, Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation to rename Cesar Chavez Day to Farmworkers Day, in light of the allegations against the civil rights leader. There are also growing calls to rename streets and other property bearing his name at the local level. Reporter: Kendra Hanna, KCBX Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this timely and bold book, Against Innocence: Undoing and Remaking the World (U Chicago Press, 2025), Miriam Ticktin explores how a concept that consistently appears as a moral good actually ends up creating harm for so many. Claims to innocence protect migrant children, but often at the expense of their parents; claims to the innocence of the fetus work to punish women. Ticktin shows how innocence structures political relationships, focusing on individual victims and saviors, while foreclosing forms of collective responsibility. Ultimately, she wants to understand how the discourse around innocence functions, what gives it such power, and why we are so compelled by it, while showing that alternative political forms already exist. She examines this process across various domains, from migration, science, and environmentalism to racial and reproductive justice.Throughout the book, Ticktin shows how the concept of innocence intimately shapes why, how, and for whom we should care and whose lives matter—and how this can have devastating consequences when only an exceptional few can qualify as innocent. A politics grounded on innocence justifies a world built on inequality, designating most people—especially the racialized poor—as unworthy, undeserving, and less than human. As an alternative, she explores the aesthetics and politics of “commoning”—a collective regime of living that refuses a liberal politics of individual identity and victimhood. Miriam Ticktin is professor of anthropology at the CUNY Graduate Center and director of the Center for Place, Culture, and Politics. She is the author of Casualties of Care and the coeditor of In the Name of Humanity. Reighan Gillam is Associate Professor in the Department of Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies at Dartmouth College. She is the author of Visualizing Black Lives: Ownership and Control in Afro-Brazilian Media (University of Illinois Press). Her book, Diasporic Connections: How Afro-Brazilians Use African American Culture to Challenge Racial Exceptionalism is forthcoming from Columbia University Press.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Money is one of the most powerful tools we have, yet for many Latino families, it's also one of the least talked about. Fear, silence, and misinformation around money have kept generations from accessing opportunities that could change their lives.This episode is about breaking that silence.In this live episode of Amiga, Handle Your Shit, Jackie Tapia sits down with financial educator and nonprofit founder Erika Toriz, CEO of Haven Services. With over 15 years of experience helping underserved communities navigate credit, homeownership, taxes, and financial literacy, Erika has dedicated her life to helping families build stability and generational wealth.Erika shares how her journey began working at a nonprofit housing counseling agency before moving into banking, where she helped structure loans and guide families toward homeownership. But when the foreclosure crisis hit and she witnessed firsthand how vulnerable many families were to predatory lending and financial misinformation, she realized something deeper was missing.Throughout the conversation, Erika speaks openly about the cultural barriers many Latinos face when it comes to money. From the fear of asking questions to the belief that credit is dangerous or that financial tools are only for wealthy people, these silent barriers can keep families stuck in cycles of financial stress.She also shares the emotional side of her work: helping families who have been victims of scams, watching hardworking immigrants lose their savings, and witnessing the transformative power of financial education.Tune in to episode 274 of Amiga, Handle Your Shit for a powerful conversation about financial literacy, cultural money beliefs, and the work it takes to build real generational wealth.Episode Takeaways:How Erika's career in banking led her to discover the financial education gap in Latino communities (07:40)Why many immigrant families avoid talking about credit, debt, and money (13:00)How Haven Services was founded to help families navigate housing, credit, and financial systems (10:00)The role financial education plays in preventing scams and predatory lending (15:00)How a nationwide cryptocurrency scam affected hundreds of working families (15:30)Why financial literacy is one of the most powerful tools for breaking generational cycles (23:30)How Haven Services has helped thousands of families recover tax refunds and improve credit (17:30)Why social media and lifestyle comparison can lead people into unnecessary debt (26:50)The importance of teaching children budgeting and money habits early (29:30)Why Erika believes money should serve the community, not define success (25:20)Connect with Erika Toriz:LinkedInHaven Services websiteLet's Connect!WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInJackie Tapia Arbonne's websiteBook: The AMIGA Way: Release Cultural Limiting Beliefs to Transform Your Life Hosted on Acast.

Hoy nos fuimos de viaje… pero al estilo latino. Hablamos de esas cosas que TODOS hemos hecho en el aeropuerto: llegar 4 horas antes “por si acaso”, llevar mil maletas (incluyendo la caja llena de tape), pesar el equipaje en la casa… y volver a reorganizar TODO en pleno check-in para evitar el overweight. Y ni hablar de la comida: arroz con pollo, pan con bistec, croquetas… que cuando abren la lonchera, ¡todo el aeropuerto se entera! Un tema lleno de risas y verdades que solo un latino entiende.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send a textSomebody calls you “Hispanic” and you hear something else entirely. We sit down with Rosalinda for a special edition that starts with a real identity check: why she answers “Mexican” every time, how she thinks about Latino and Latina as umbrella terms in the United States, and why getting specific can be a form of respect. If you've ever googled “Hispanic vs Latino vs Mexican” or struggled with what word fits, this conversation puts the human side back into the definition. Then we pivot hard into an Oscars 2026 hangout, pulled straight from our natural chaos: Michael B. Jordan takes Best Actor for Sinners, we shout out Ryan Coogler, and we keep coming back to One Battle After Another as a movie worth watching for the performances alone. We also drop context around Fruitvale Station and why it still hits, plus quick reactions to nominees, categories, and the weird reality that half the award-season films are “wait, what is that?” until the winners list pops up. The surprise turn is AI. We talk about those deepfake-style tribute videos that bring Kobe, Tupac, and Michael Jackson back on screen and why it can feel spooky instead of sweet. Where's the line between honoring someone and using them? If you like cultural identity talk, movie recommendations, Oscars reactions, and honest questions about AI, hit play. Subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review with the label you claim for yourself and why.Thanks for listening to the Nobody's Talking Podcast.

What does it look like when a community invests in its own future? In this special Podcasthon episode, Vanessa sits down with Dr. Angela Vargas - licensed psychologist and inaugural Futuro Fund board member - to share the story behind the Latino Mental Health Association of New Jersey's scholarship program that is changing the trajectory for the next generation of Latinx mental health professionals.From a small group of psychologists meeting in a basement 27 years ago to a two-day annual conference, a growing gala, and now a formalized scholarship fund — LMHANJ has become a cornerstone of Latino mental health representation in New Jersey. Through the Futuro Fund, they've awarded $4,000 and now $5,000 scholarships to graduate students committed to giving back to their communities. You'll also hear directly from scholarship recipient Yareimy Patrocinio, a first-generation MSW student and daughter of Mexican immigrants, on what this scholarship means for her path forward.In this episode:The 27-year evolution of LMHANJ — from psychologists-only to a multi-disciplinary, rebranded associationHow the Futuro Fund was born out of the inaugural gala — and why it's growingWhy mentorship and emotional support matter just as much as financial aidHow students can connect to LMHANJ and build a professional network before they even graduateWhat it means to be a first-gen professional investing in the next generation

It speaks volumes when an urban planner, an expert in housing, community and economic development who has served in leadership positions in the federal government, national nonprofit intermediaries, and in a community-based Latino serving organization decides that his passion lies in working at the hyper-local level with communities that are often underserved and underestimated. Manuel Ochoa, my guest on this week's episode of Power Station, launched Ochoa Urban Collaborative in 2019 to support the change making aspirations of marginalized communities in the US and globally. He shares his contributions to the Purple Line Corridor Coalition, a public-private and community partnership, supported by the University of Maryland's National Center for Smart Growth, whose mission is to ensure that the state's largest transit investment is designed and implemented with equity as its North Star. Manuel focuses on the scores of small businesses along the Corridor, mostly immigrant owned, that managed to survive the pandemic and are now navigating an economic downturn and the White House's anti-immigrant agenda. And we talk about the role of the arts in community development and more personally, in Manuel's life. 

“We are dealing with the consequences of a demographic paranoia now.” Journalist, historian, and author Jelani Cobb often looks to the past to better understand the present, and he says the right’s pushback against immigration and multiculturalism is rooted in this country’s history. He speaks with Maria Hinojosa about the parallels between recent ICE raids and the Fugitive Slave Act, the importance of solidarity between Black and brown communities, and how we should be thinking about the U.S. as we approach the midterms and the country’s 250th anniversary.

On the eve of World War II, a handsome young scholar arrived in Paris. The queer, Black son of a housecleaner, who had nevertheless been decorated in the halls of Harvard and Columbia, Reed Peggram flirted with Leonard Bernstein, sat for portraits by famous artists, charmed minor royalty and became like a little brother to famed researcher and writer Jan Gay. Finally in Europe and on the same prestigious scholarship as literary luminaries Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes before him, he ignored the increasingly alarmed calls to return home to a repressive, segregated America and a constrained life as a second class citizen. And as tensions grew and gas masks were distributed in the City of Lights, Reed turned instead to the new life he'd made: with Arne, a tall and dashing Danish scholar with whom he had formed a deep bond.Award-winning historian Ethelene Whitmire unearthed a trove of Reed's letters when she met one of his descendants at a lecture, awed that she'd heard so little of this charismatic man and his fascinating true story of love and war. In The Remarkable Life of Reed Peggram (Viking, 2026), she introduces us to an unforgettable character who fled from country to country as fighting advanced, was captured by Nazis and outwitted them in a daring escape, and risked it all in a personal fight for a life of love, freedom, beauty and dignity in a world set against him. Ethelene Whitmire is a respected historian and professor for the Department of African American Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her research has won awards and funding from the Ford Foundation, the Fulbright Program, and the American Library Association, and she has been invited to writers residencies including Yaddo, UCross, Hedgebrook, and Virginia Center for the Creative Arts.

And as tensions grew and gas masks were distributed in the City of Lights, Reed turned instead to the new life he'd made: with Arne, a tall and dashing Danish scholar with whom he had formed a deep bond.Award-winning historian Ethelene Whitmire unearthed a trove of Reed's letters when she met one of his descendants at a lecture, awed that she'd heard so little of this charismatic man and his fascinating true story of love and war. In The Remarkable Life of Reed Peggram (Viking, 2026), she introduces us to an unforgettable character who fled from country to country as fighting advanced, was captured by Nazis and outwitted them in a daring escape, and risked it all in a personal fight for a life of love, freedom, beauty and dignity in a world set against him. Ethelene Whitmire is a respected historian and professor for the Department of African American Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her research has won awards and funding from the Ford Foundation, the Fulbright Program, and the American Library Association, and she has been invited to writers residencies including Yaddo, UCross, Hedgebrook, and Virginia Center for the Creative Arts.

Journalist and author Sam Quinones spent his career reporting on crime, drug trafficking and addiction. After his latest book on the opioid epidemic, he turned to a vastly different topic that long held his interest—the tuba, an instrument that for decades was often looked down on or ignored. The more Quinones learned about the tuba, and the people that dedicate their lives to mastering this complicated instrument, the more his interest in the world of band (and banda) grew. He takes us into his new book “The Perfect Tuba,” to explore its history and what we can all learn from working to master a craft.

On this episode of the Gracias, Come Again Podcast, we sit down with trailblazer Rossana Rosado for a powerful conversation about identity, storytelling, and what it means to open doors for the next generation. Born and raised in the Bronx to Puerto Rican parents, Rossana shares how her upbringing shaped her drive and her deep commitment to community. With more than three decades in media, she built an extraordinary career as a journalist and executive, starting as a City Hall reporter at El Diario La Prensa, the nation’s oldest Spanish-language newspaper and a cornerstone of Latino media in the Tri-State area. She went on to make history as the publication’s first woman Editor-in-Chief, later becoming Publisher and CEO. Rossana also reflects on her time working in television at WPIX-TV, where her work producing public service programming earned her an Emmy Award, along with other major honors including a Peabody Award. Throughout the conversation, she opens up about navigating media spaces as a young Latina, hustling for stories, and establishing herself in rooms that were not always designed for women like us. Her journey eventually led her into public service, including serving as New York’s Secretary of State and now as Commissioner of the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, where she helps shape policy and support public safety initiatives across the state. Rossana joins us to talk about her new memoir, Bronx Attitude, where she shares the lessons, struggles, and victories that defined her career. She also explains why she believes everyone has a story worth telling and why she’s now committed to helping others find their voice and share their truth. This conversation is about perseverance, purpose, and the power of representation. Rossana Rosado is proof that when you stay the course, believe in yourself, and push open doors that seem closed, you can create a path for countless others to follow. Watch the full episode and be inspired by a true Latina pioneer in media and public service.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The state Senate approved rent help for Minnesotans affected by the surge of federal agents, but its future in the state House remains uncertain. We got the latest from our politics reporter.Plus, we met the Metro Transit's new police chief.

We talked to her about the games.The Minnesota Music Minute was “Easy Silence” by Dan Wilson, and “Playing House” by Anna Devine was the Song of the Day.

A coalition of 13 Latino-led organizations across Minnesota is pushing lawmakers to take action on immigration enforcement and economic support for communities affected by the recent surge of federal agents.The group, called the Minnesota Latino Leadership Alliance, has laid out a set of legislative priorities. That includes support for the proposed STAR Act, which would limit how state and local governments cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. Aaron Sepúlveda, legislative and policy director with the Minnesota Council on Latino Affairs, is part of the alliance. He shared more about the coalition on Minnesota Now.

“It's about blood. I cover a lot of bloodshed in the book, but I also talk about a different kind of blood: blood that ties, blood that binds families across time and distance.” — Jazmine UlloaKristi Noem is gone. Under her tenure, 32 people died in ICE custody in 2025 — double the previous year's toll. But Jazmine Ulloa, the New York Times' national immigration reporter, doesn't think much will change. Noem wasn't really the point, she insists. The MAGA spectacle rolls on. Stephen Miller's violently anti-immigrant agenda remains. And hysterical conservatives like Peter Schweizer are still writing books about how the Mexican government is “weaponizing” immigration by sending their people over the border.Ulloa grew up three minutes from the Walmart where a self-proclaimed white supremacist drove nine hours from North Texas in August 2019, opened fire, and told an officer he was there to kill Mexicans. Her closest friend's father escaped the parking lot as the shooting started. And it inspired her to write El Paso: Five Families and 100 Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory — a chronicle of El Paso as the 21st century Ellis Island.Her argument, made through five families over a century, is that El Paso is not an exception to America. It is America. Latino identity has always been American identity. The Southwest sat on Mexican land before it was American. The border was never a clean line — it was always a contested negotiation, shifting beneath the feet of families who crossed it for work, for survival, for birthday parties in Juárez. The “detention and deportation machine,” she is careful to note, was built by both parties over many decades. Trump didn't invent it. He simply applied his scattershot cruelty to it.What does feel new, Ulloa says, is how El Paso has become every American city — the same tactics long deployed at the border now rolling into Minneapolis and Chicago, snagging US citizens on the basis of how they look or how they speak. Some think this represents uncharted civil liberties territory. Border communities have been sounding this alarm for years, Ulloa notes. Nobody listened. Perhaps they will now.Jazmine Ulloa's El Paso is also, quietly, a love letter — to the city, to its 80% Hispanic population, to the corrido tradition, to a place where magical realism is not a literary device but a way of life. Ulloa wanted the prose to sound like your tío telling stories over coffee. “Borders or bridges?” is the question El Paso has always been answering for generations. Now America is asking the same question. Five Takeaways•       The Machine Predates Trump: The deportation and detention apparatus dominating today's headlines was constructed under both Democratic and Republican administrations across many decades — a bipartisan inheritance that Trump has amplified but did not originate.•       Noem's Exit Changes Nothing: Relief crossed party lines when she was fired, but Ulloa is clear-eyed: Stephen Miller's agenda remains intact, border crossings remain suppressed, and the same systemic challenges will persist under whoever takes over DHS.•       El Paso Is America's Ellis Island — and Its Mirror: The city, 80% Hispanic and straddling two nations, has long been the place where immigration policy is made in the flesh. American identity has always been a negotiation — never a fixed truth, always contested terrain.•       Nativism Is Not an Aberration: From the Chinese Exclusion Acts to the KKK-backed Johnson-Reed Act of 1924, fear of the outsider has been a structural feature of US immigration policy — not a deviation from American values, but an uncomfortable expression of them.•       The Border Is Moving Inward: What was once contained to border communities — racial profiling, mass sweeps, civil liberties erosions — is now spreading into the American heartland. What Ulloa sees as genuinely new is the response: ordinary citizens coming out in their pajamas to document it. About the GuestJazmine Ulloa is the national immigration reporter for the New York Times. She is a former State House reporter for the Los Angeles Times and previously covered national politics for the Boston Globe. Her new book is El Paso: Five Families and 100 Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory (Dutton/Penguin Random House, 2026). Born and raised in El Paso, she lives there now.References:•       El Paso: Five Families and 100 Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory by Jazmine Ulloa (Dutton/Penguin Random House, 2026).•       Episode 2830: So Are All Immigrants Manchurian Candidates? Peter Schweizer on Weaponizing Immigration — Schweizer's conspiracy-inflected reading directly challenged by Ulloa.•       The Johnson-Reed Act of 1924 — the Coolidge-era immigration law, backed by the KKK, that used national-origin quotas to bar Southern and Eastern European and Asian immigration.•       The El Paso Walmart massacre, August 3, 2019 — 23 people killed by a white supremacist who posted a manifesto echoing the “Great Replacement” theory.•       One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez — the magical-realist tradition Ulloa draws on.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

Bill Press examines two races that could shift U.S. politics: Texas's U.S. Senate contest and California's open governor's race. In Texas, reporter Maria Recio of The Austin American-Statesman, explains how state Rep. James Talarico beat Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary, citing his earlier start, stronger ground game, appeal to Latino voters, moderate and faith-based profile, and high Democratic turnout; the GOP nominee will be decided in a May 26 runoff between Sen. John Cornyn and AG Ken Paxton, with Trump's endorsement still uncertain and Paxton seen as more damaged by scandals. They discuss issues likely shaping 2026, including affordability, immigration enforcement conditions, and war. In California, Politico's Melanie Mason details the top-two “jungle primary,” warning Democrats that eight candidates could split votes enough to allow two Republicans to advance; current frontrunners include Katie Porter, Eric Swalwell, and wealthy spender Tom Steyer, amid few major endorsements.You can follow Melanie Mason's work at Politico.com/newsletters/californiaplaybookToday's Bill Press Pod is supported by The Ironworkers Union.

Jonnie Park was born in Argentina to Korean parents, crossed the US-Mexico border undocumented at age three, carried by a mother with two toddlers and nothing but courage, and grew up in Koreatown, Los Angeles, caught between Korean, Latino, and Black American culture. He became one of the only Asian battle rappers in history to gain mainstream notoriety, starred in Run DMC, appeared in Awkafina is Nora from Queens, voiced a character in Raya and the Last Dragon, and now he's written a memoir, Spit: A Life in Battles, which drops on April 14th. In this episode, Jonnie and Sadia get into what it actually felt like to step into a battle rap circle surrounded by hundreds of people, how hip hop taught him to be unapologetically Asian, the complicated relationship with his father that he had to write about first before anything else, and why immigrants, including his mother, built the best parts of America. This episode covers: undocumented immigration, Korean American identity, battle rap culture, cultural appropriation vs. appreciation, Asian American representation in Hollywood, memoir writing, and generational trauma.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Eric Kaufmann live from London. Kaufmann explains his racial classification as: “Someone who is a quarter Latino and a quarter Chinese but is considered White by most people.” Most is not all. A professor of Politics at the University of Buckingham, Kaufmann has written a number of books that seem to address the System of White Supremacy. Our recent guest Dr. Paul Thomas told us about the 2018 publication, Whiteshift: Immigration, Populism and the Future of White Majorities. This book examines the changes we're currently witnessing with changing demographics and fears of White Genetic Annihilation. Kaufmann thinks there will be a new influx of so called “mixed” people who will be accepted as White - like himself. Kaufmann details White frustration with all this change and increased color. He says people classified as White should be allowed to be proud of their culture and traditions just like non-white people. This, like most of the book, ignores that violence and lying are the sum total of White Culture. Championing White Culture would mean celebrating the abuse and murder of non-white people. Ironically, Kaufmann says this is what will be required of the so called “mixed” people who hope to join the White Race. Kaufmann sounds identical to Racists in one respects, they all insist we've made a tremendous amount of "progress" towards Producing Justice.

On Feb. 21, the musical world lost a legend and pioneer of salsa: Willie Colón.The trombonist, songwriter, producer and arranger was a key part of the transition of Afro-Caribbean dance music from regional traditions to worldwide popularity. For an insider's perspective on that history, this week we speak to trombonist and bandleader Angel “Papo” Vázquez, a Philadelphia-born musician who was not only inspired to play the trombone by Willie Colón, but also played on some historic recordings by Colón and other Fania Records notables.The best music tells great stories, and the same can be said about musicians. Vázquez brings along five tracks by Willie Colón that set him, and the rest of the world, on a path of deep appreciation for Colón's contributions to salsa.This podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell.
