Civilians being murdered. Racial profiling. Militarized forces in educational institutions. Political rivals attacked. Indigenous lands being shaken down.
The parallels between ICE and border patrol with the US-supported Central American death squads of the 80s are striking. So the LMC spends the hour with Jorge Cuellar, an assistant professor of Latin American, Latino & Caribbean Studies @ Dartmouth College of Hanover in New Hampshire, to further examine these parallels following recent events in Minnesota.
Francois Pierre-Louis, Professor of Political Science at Queens College City University of New York, joins the LMC for an intense conversation on the parallels between ICE and the dark legacy of the Tonton Macoute in Haiti.
In our continuing coverage of the fallout of the US invasion of Venezuela, the LMC hosted a roundtable discussion to present a Black perspective on Venezuela and how US imperialism affects all Afro-descendents in the Western Hemisphere.
Our roundtable includes James Early, a former Smithsonian Institution Assistant Secretary for Education and Public Service. Egberto Willies, the host of “Politics Done Right”, which airs on Pacifica station KPFT in Houston, Texas. And Austin Cole, the National Co-Coordinator for the Black Alliance for Peace and the Co-Coordinator of the BAP Haiti/Americas Team.
The Latino Media Collective is a grassroots Latino public-affairs program that airs on Pacifica station WPFW 89.3fm on Fridays @ 1pm EST in Washington DC.
