California at 175 (Repeat). 

In 2025, California marked the 175th anniversary of becoming a state on September 9, 1850—two years after the United States took control of the former Mexican province. Over these 175 years, California has risen as an economic and technological powerhouse and has led major movements for social change, including farmworker organizing and free speech. What role have Latinos played in building modern California? What are the key Latino milestones in this history? This program originally aired on September 9, 2025.

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