In Vaya Con Muñoz

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).
