Have you ever heard of the Black Code policy that passed in the 19th century in Puerto Rico? Educator Nina Vázquez has studied this topic extensively & stops by the show to give us a little history lesson on this awful racist law. You won't want to miss out on the deep dive into a moment of Puerto Rico's history. Stay tuned for the end of the show when Joshua & Kim break down the latest Puerto Rico news, including the massive worker strikes happening on la Isla right now, the anti- privatization protest in Ocean Park known to many as Wepapalooza, and JLo's and Bad Bunny's recent magazine photoshoots.
