THIS WEEK ON LATINOPIA: BOBBI MURRAY ON DUE PROCESS TAKES A HOLIDAY, RICARDO ROMO’S TEJANO REPORT ON iliana emilia GARCÍA, J. GILBERTO QUEZADA ON THE SPANISH LEGACY OF TEXAS RIVERS, AND CYNTHIA OROZCO ON CÉSAR CHÁVEZ IS NOT THE ONLY LATINO WE SHOULD KNOW.
This week Bobbi Murray returns with her News form the Trench blog. This week she reports on the latest of ICE attacks on Latinos, arresting them in large scale sweeps and then sending them off to prisons in Texas without the benefit of due process. If we allow this to happen to Latinos who may or may not be here illegally, next they’ll be coming after any U.S. citizen that they decide to profile. Check out this scary report. Latinopia will continue to keep you updated and informed on the drastic actions of the Trump Administration.
Our guest blog today comes from Dr. Cynthia Orozco who reminds us that there are more Latinos that Americans should be aware of beside ubiquitous Chicano leader César Chávez.
And we have another guest blog this week. This from Dr. J. Gilberto Quezada who takes us on a guided tour of the many rivers in Texas that have been named by Spanish explorers. Check it out , makes you want to get on a raft and float downstream.
And this week’s Tejano Report from Ricardo Romo continues to focus on his recent trip to New York city. This week he looks at the art of Dominican iliana emilia Garcia (she purposefully uses lower case for her first name).
Check out all that is happening on Latinopia this week!
