From the comida que cocinamos, the music we play, and our labor which plants, cleans, and builds-- Nuestra Gente has grown deep roots in the south.In this episode- P'urhépecha migrants in North Carolina hold an annual Saint Day Festival that allows their indigenous community in the US to share moments around cultural traditions, religious practice, but also political organizing to support their community in Cherán Mexico. When the story of Latinx immigrants staging a walkout in Durham from a Historically Black Catholic church, it was depicted as evidence of racial tensions, but what about the white supremacy within the catholic church that neglected the needs of both communities?
