In today's episode, Ray sits down with community organizer and  photographer Héctor Vaca Cruz to talk about police aggression, the  immigrant story, and essential workers. After the break, poet power  couple Loli Molina Muñoz and Jesus Redondo Menendez stop by to premiere two  poems, "ALMA" and "Witness" ("Testigo"), and chat with Ray about  responding to Cruz's work and the challenges and opportunities of  writing poems in English versus Spanish. Hindsight 2020 is on view at the Columbia Museum of Art through November 21, 2021.
