Race in Los Angeles and the Presidential Campaign
Host:
Produced by:
In one of the world’s most diverse cities, blacks and Latinos get along for the most part. But the prejudice of a few is compounded by economic and political competition. There’s racism in some schools. In prisons, racial tensions are so high that inmates are segregated. Gang murders most often are committed by one racial group against its own members—but race is the likely motive in a spate of recent killings.
Guests:
- Fernando Guerra: Professor of Political Science at Loyola Marymount University and Director of its Center for the Study of Los Angeles
- Joe Hicks: Vice President of Community Advocates
- Rick Orlov: City Hall Bureau Chief for the Los Angeles Daily News
- Khalid Shah: Executive Director of 'Stop The Violence, Increase The Peace'; Chair of the Regional Violence Prevention Coalition
