Latino USA show

Summary: <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; color: #222222;">On May 11, students at a private university in Mexico City protested a talk by presidential candidate Enrique Peña Nieto and were accused of being agitators for hire by media outlets. One hundred and thirty one of the students involved posted videos that sparked a series of large protests against, amongst other things, media influence on elections. This week, we speak to journalist Luisa Ortiz Perez about this movement’s off-campus impact. We also hear a commentary on Mexican elections from an expat returning to his parents’ homeland, we go fishing with a family near LA, and in our latest Know Your Pro segment, a Mexican baker shares her secret for perfectly flaky croissants.</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #222222;"><p></p></span></p>
