37: A History of US Latino Riots

We are happy to present another episode from the Latino Media Collective. For this show, Aaron Fountain, a PhD student in the department of American History at Indiana University-Bloomington, discusses the surprisingly extensive history of urban Latino riots. He also talks about how the "Black-White Binary" of racial injustice makes these moments in history largely forgotten and how they can happen again.
