California: 175 Years. 

California kicks off celebrations marking the 175th anniversary of its statehood, achieved on September 9, 1850, just two years after the United States took over the former Mexican province. Over the past 175 years, California has emerged as an economic and technological powerhouse, leading major social movements, from farmworker organizing to the fight for free expression. What role have Latinos played in shaping the new California? What are their key milestones in this history? This is the first episode in a special series commemorating California’s 175th anniversary.

Guest: David Ayon, Political Analyst, Researcher at the Center for the Study of Los Angeles and Author, Oakland, CA.
