Check out this unique look at the fourth of July as Alberto read this very cool poem, “Día de los Refugios.”
Also this week, the Fresno based theater company Teatro De La Tierra (Theater of the People) remind us that the struggle for freedom is not confined to ancient event that took place in 1776, but is an on-going struggle of people everywhere STILL taking place today. Check out their original composition “Libertad” (Freedom).
