Chávez Legacy.

He talks about that legacy at a time when histories on Latinos are being removed from public spaces.

Deportation Worries. About one in three adults in all immigrant families expressed worries about doing one or more essential activities such as driving, talking to police, seeking health care services, or taking their children to school or daycare. Even families with no undocumented members, where everyone is a US citizen or has a green card, said they were worried about deportations. This is what researchers found after surveying people in immigrant families.

Guest: Dulce Gonzalez, Senior Research Associate, Health Policy Center, Urban Institute, Chicago, IL.

Measles Spreading. The measles outbreak that started in Texas has spread to New Mexico and Oklahoma. Experts fear that if the number of unvaccinated people continues to grow, measles may become a national epidemic. What’s the current toll? Why is the disease resurging? Why has the rate of vaccination in Texas dropped so much? How to tackle these outbreaks? A doctor responds to misinformation on measles shots.
