Just confirmed: Adrian Felix, associate professor of ethnic studies at UC Riverside and author of Specters of Belonging: The Political Life Cycle of Mexican Migrants will join us to talk about the history of Día De La Raza and why Latino Leadership and Mentorship is so important.
Also joining us: Alberto Mesta Jr., branch manager of the Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid, Inc.
