    Basic Black: Hispanic and Latin Culture

    There are more than 800,000 Latinos who call Massachusetts their home. Some reports estimate the number is much higher.  But, as we recognize the history and contributions in art, music, food, and entrepreneurship, we cannot overlook on going socioeconomic issues – from housing to putting food on the table for their families.  Friday’s episode will discuss the issues, concerns, and opportunities in the Hispanic and Latino community.

    Dr. Celina Miranda, Executive Director of the Hyde Square Task Force.
