Often talked about but never heard from in corporate media, the Salvadoran community in Washington DC has been often overlooked in the DMV narrative. So the LMC speaks with Ana Patricia Rodriguez to discuss how the Salvadoran diaspora helped build Washington as we know it today and the sacrifices immigrants make for their children’s futures.
Ana Patricia Rodríguez is an Associate Professor, School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures @ the University of Maryland in College Park. She is also the author of “Avocado Dreams: Remaking Salvadoran Life and Art in the Washington, D.C. Metro Area.”
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 LMC continues its coverage on the fallout of the US invasion of Venezuela and the kidnapping of president Nicolas Maduro by speaking with Leonardo Flores about what happens next for the Bolivarian revolution.
Leonardo Flores is a Venezuelan political analyst, a founding member of the Venezuela Solidarity Network and a member of CodePink.
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.
