- Program Description
La Plaza, the Latino Production Unit of WGBH Boston, presents the new series Maria Hinojosa: One-on-One.
Chicano writer and activist Luis Rodríguez turned away from an early life of crime to become an antigang activist. He wrote the best-seller Always Running: La Vida Loca - Gang Days in LA as a cautionary tale for his son Ramiro, who had joined a gang in Chicago. He cofounded Youth Struggling for Survival, a Chicago-based nonprofit that works with street gangs and vulnerable youth. He also opened Tía Chucha, a publishing press, bookstore, art gallery, and performance space in Sylmar, Calif.
In this conversation with María Hinojosa, Rodríguez talks about his life as a former gang member, his commitment to youth, and his return to his indigenous roots.
