But yeah, it's not it's not treated the same as a crime pertaining to heroin and cocaine as it was in the 60s and 70s in the inner cities of New York. And I said that to say the issue about critical race theory, the driving force behind that is people don't understand and they were doing just the same thing that you're doing. Taking it to a place where people who don't understand the history of this country continue to accept the fact that black folks and, you know, your radio station conservatives are pushing this agenda continuously that one agenda you.

"Yeah, I took a week off but Hector we saw lamo and Oscar Fernández. They were part of this great show. Oscar produced a great show about the George Lopez Ralph Barbosa thing and Hector had two amazing guests with Fidel Martinez of the LA times and Christina Escobar of Latino rebels. Really, really good conversation. And if you haven't listened to it, you know, press pause, go back and then come back actually, no, you can listen to it whenever. Because you got to listen to this because today on the show, we're going to put a spotlight on the Latino community and Baltimore Baltimore through the lens of the story of kaleen Perez, the first Latina to be named miss coppin state at the historically black university compensate in the Baltimore area in Baltimore. So what played out at first as a positive local story quickly took a turn when the news spread through social media. Here we go again and the negative comments towards the university and Perez in particular started pouring in. A lot of the comments said that miss copen state that the title for miss compensate should have gone to a black woman. So on compensate Instagram account, there were comments like we can't have anything or you're not black, are just some of the more polite ones that bit has received. And remember, kaleen Perez is a college student. I mean, I have a college student right now and had one just graduate from college, so a little perspective people. So what does this controversy tell us about the question of inclusion and exclusion at historically black colleges and universities, and also want to look at it through the lens of HBCUs and this moment to talk about race, heritage, representation, and if you're a fan of Latino rebels radio, our producer, Oscar Fernández, just happens to be a cop and state alum. He graduated from coppin state. So we're going to bring Oscar on to the show after we have our fabulous guest who is actually the center of this story. Do you want to say who you are? And where are you and what you do? Welcome to the show. Yes. Thank you, Julio. I'm so happy to be here with you. And of course, Oscar, you know, coughing alum, that's amazing. I'm kayleen chassen and Perez, and I'm a senior here at coffin state university. I'm studying nursing and military science. I'm in the honors college and I'm the first Latina to be missed coffin state. The 91st miss coffin state. There you go. Well, congratulations. All right, well, listen, kaleen. Before we get into all this, because I do want to focus on the story, but there's a lot more to this. And again, I don't want to create this impression that this is an either or type of situation because when it comes to questions of race and identity and just changing demographics in the United States, it's a little bit more complex. So when it comes to Latinos attending traditionally, you know, HBCUs. I mean, the most common question, I'm sure that people are asking is like, why did you choose to go to an HBCU? Of course, if I pegged an HPC U when I came to other orientations, I came to three of them. And every time the culture, the support from the staff, from the student body, the student leaders was just incredible. And I did a few tours that PWS, but it wasn't the same, you know? And I was going to go to a PWI after I graduated, but I listened to the military, and then when I came back, things went a different direction. So that's when I took my eye on cotton and just seeing the culture, the family oriented environment, it really made me feel very connected and very welcome to be here. And can you tell us more about the Latino community and this part of Maryland and what is it that makes coppin state at least Oscar fill me in. It's kind of like a go to school for that community and other Latinos in the area in the DMV, but what makes it so special for you? Or in just the Latino community and where you are in Baltimore. So in Baltimore, there is a pretty heavy population of Latinos, but we're all kind of like spread it in different areas of Baltimore. Here at coppin state, it's about like 3% Latinos. And of course, you know, this is the HBCU historically black institution, but as people of color were able to relate to each other because we are minorities in America, we can relate to being first generation students and having that pure connection of just embracing each other's culture. It is amazing. And I feel like both the international students and other students of color feel that bonding in that connectivity here at coffin. And tell me, how did you identify us? What would you say if someone said, hey, kayleen, you know, not to be like, hey, what are you? I don't want to sound disrespectful. No, of course. But how do you identify as a young Latina? What would you say? Yes, I invited myself as a young Latina, Guatemalan heritage first generation. And when it comes to the issue of race and sort of the complexities of it, growing up, I mean, you went to school nearby, right? You tended your school in high school in your hometown of mount airy, Maryland, right? Which is between Frederick, Maryland, which there are. And Baltimore, right, around there. But were you kind of, I guess my question is, was it something that you were isolated from? Or was it something that was like you always felt like, you know, Latinos and African Americans or it's always been sort of part of your life or no. Well, in Howard county, that's where I was raised in mount airy, more like the western side of hieroglyph, the schools that I attended were promoting white, very limited Latino population. So we never really had an area like a safe space we could say. It's really embrace our Latino culture or just to feel welcomed in high school and middle school. I was got racist comments because my parents are immigrants, you know, they all assume that was from Mexico, my parents jumped the border. Those comments and my high school Glenn our high school had a hate crime, my senior year. By a few Caucasian students who put the S.W.A.T. circle sign. Caught our principal, the N word. I think he was like the first or one of the first principles of that was African American at glenelg. So they had different opinions there. So we never really felt safe in about like 5 students were Latino about 20 were African American. And the co ops that we did have, they weren't really full on embrace your culture. It was basically just PowerPoints and very not driven towards us more disturbing towards history lessons. And around how our county there is a lot of Latinos, but I feel like some of the clubs are really limited in areas where it's heavily white dominated because I can Columbia area. There's a lot more Latinos like wildlife high school and they have a great presence of Latinos there. And a lot of my friends have gone there in a lot of my sisters, younger friends go there as well. And I see their population the way they embrace everyone's culture and it's beautiful, but I think we need to continue building that across the other public schools. Right. And so then let's get to the story, which I mean, I hate to say the word viral, but you know, you've got interest, right? I mean, you were featured on NBC News on February 24th. Let's talk about that, but let's give it a little context. Before running unopposed as no one ran against you, right? At miss compensate. No, no one has written against me, my sophomore year or my junior year or as miss coffin. Oh, so you've done, can I ask you this? People know you on campus. Yes, they do. Like, you have connections, right? You have your roots there. I'm sure you have your group of friends and everything. Did you ever have, I mean, saying that you were unopposed and again, we'll link to the NBC News article about the interview you had and your background, but did you have a feeling that there was going to be some negative feedback from people outside the campus or what are your thoughts? Well, my freshman year, I did a lot of self work, you know, getting to know the campus, building that bond with friends, with the community, the only club I really did, my freshman year was cheerleading. I cheered throughout

It seem most likely that adams would prevail given his initially and it turned out to be so in terms of the counts of the absentee ballots. It was a very close arrays but then again there were many candidates in this race. So i think He's he's likely to become the second african american mayor in the history of new york city. And as i mentioned before. I've known eric adams for about thirty years. Now he was a big source. Of my when i was a reporter on issue so within the police department and and wage the valiant fightback in those days against racism and police abuse within the department became increasingly conservative as it became a politician. So i think that the real the real story here. I think is that in the last year or two there has been a considerable increase in gun violence and crime across the united states. I believe a lot of it. Is police department standing down in response to the massive public criticism around the country and and more and more guns being funneled into a black and brown communities and adams then was able to capture the majority of the democratic electorate in the primary as a result of the concern that The defunding police movement had got was going too far and that they that the voters especially in the black and brown communities overwhelmingly supported him. So i think that that's the key lesson from this. But i think that adams will be not as conservative as a lot of people's think but definitely not nearly as progressive with some of the other candidates well and of course we'll continue to cover what happens here in new york city but now we're turning to nicole.

University officials push back on US travel ban
"You this week president trump is expected to announce an expansion of his controversial travel ban that prohibits nearly all people from selected countries from traveling to or immigrating to the United States the original travel ban was one of Mr trump's first initiatives upon taking office in focus primarily on Muslim majority countries it took years of court challenges before it was finally up held this latest iteration is focused on a range of countries NPR has confirmed that the seven countries expected to be added to the band are Nigeria Sudan Tanzania Eritrea Kyrgyzstan Myanmar and Belarus indeed some of the countries listed are known for having high visa overstay rates but some of these countries also sends many students to American colleges and universities particularly historically black colleges and universities are H. B. C. use we want to get more perspective on this so we've called on David Wilson he is the president of Morgan state university that's a historically black university in Baltimore Maryland president Wilson thank you so much for joining us I'm a show this is really an honor to talk with you about this so first can I just get your thoughts on the initial travel ban and the reporting that this band is being expanded to the countries that I just named how do you react react to this well when the initial travel ban was proposed we had a quite a few international students of Morgan who were very long and concerned and so my first thought was to pool I international community together to let them know of course that we have one big umbrella at Morgan and everyone fits under that umbrella and so they were very very pleased to hear that but of course you know they were very concerned about what it meant for the continued state in the United States at Morgan we held a roughly ten percent of our nearly eight thousand students SO it Morgan who are international representing sixty countries and of that ten percent about twenty percent of those students are from Nigeria and we have had very very strong ties with the entire continent of Africa for decades not only Morgan but many H. B. C. use the Washington post wrote a feature about Morgan state a couple of months ago and it cited that of foreign students as as an important part of the university's continued stability and growth and I'll just quote here from the peace the peace that foreign students especially from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are a booming demographic H. B. C. use at Morgan seven hundred thirty eight international students were enrolled in the fall of twenty eighteen are from two hundred and eighty six in two thousand six and the reporter says that the students often pay full tuition a monetary boost for schools that often serve students from low income families relying on financial aid is that true is that many of your international students do pay full tuition that is true and this is been a conscious effort on our part to increase our brand on the international stage we have actually done that very fair well and we're bringing the world to market and a domestic students really appreciate the fact that we have all the different cultures on our campus international students feel very very welcome on the campus to fill that Morgan is a place where they belong and so when I heard the proposed ban that had Nigeria and it I understand that I had a senior administrative a team in Africa they just returned yesterday looking at how we could actually partner with a couple of existing African universities took a number two or three Morgan state to Greece there and so this was really devastating for us to hear and so I don't know who is really advising the administration on some of the policies and I don't know what the motives are but I just don't think this is really good for higher education in America in general and is definitely not good for H. B. C. use before you go I'm we've discussed the fact that many of these international students come with full funding whether it's individual whether it's through foundation support or funds within their countries they're interested in supporting their education is overseas but what benefit would you say it is to the United States to have these international students studying here it is fun of enormous importance to help the students when I campuses because first of all we send a belt with seven hundred fifty thousand or so students every year to study abroad that's a small fraction of all the students when I campuses and therefore you have no ninety five percent or so of all students in American colleges not being expose perhaps to the kind of cultures that exist around the world so when we are able to bring these international students from all walks of the world to our campuses it really in Abel's domestic students on many of whom I have never gone outside of the country to be in environments now with the understand different cultures the understand different histories of the world the engage in robust discussion and debate and everybody wins and when you cut that off I just fear of four which really will happen with regard to our students being in environments where they can go to the cafeteria and sit and at that table you know they have you know five countries represented this David Wilson he's president of Morgan state university that's in a strictly black university in Baltimore Maryland president Wilson thank you so much for talking to us today Michelle thank you for
