The journalist Marla Goldberg shares her perspectives on Dinald Trump’s first press conference, and what constitutes fake news rather than information we may not like knowing about.
Filmmaker Larry Hott reviews “13th,” about the 13th amendment that banned slavery in 1865. Mass encarceration of mostly blacks and Latinos challenges whether the amendment truly eradicated slavery. See trailer here:youtube.com/watch?v=V66F3WU2CKk
And we are sung out by Danny Rivera singing “Madrigal,” the love song that my mamita linda requested that we sing to her at her burial. Today in 1992 we had the sad duty to honor her request. But what a beautiful song of love! <3

We speak with author Ginetta Candelario, co-author of “Cien Años de Feminismos Dominicanos,” (“100 years of Dominican Feminisms”) with Elizabeth Manley and April Mayes.
Candelario, also professor of sociology at Smith College, and her her co-authors amassed a treasure trove of documents about feminism’s rise in the Dominican Republic beginning in 1865.
Also, filmmaker Larry Hott reviews “Witness,” a documentary about a brother’s search for the truth about the circumstances surrounding the rape and murder of his sister in New York City in 1966. Were there, in fact, 38 witnesses who heard her pleas and did nothing? Trailer here: http://www.thewitness-film.com/
And we are sung out by Haciendo Punto en Otro Son with, “En La Vida Todo es Ir” (Everything Comes and Goes in Life).
