Description:

In today's headlines: the city of LA sues a journalist and watchdog group, Metro lowers the music levels at the MacArthur Park station, and outdoor dining to stay in LA. 

The play Twilight LA is based on interviews of hundred of people whose lives were directly touched by both the uprising itself, and the events that led up to it. The show returns to the Mark Taper Forum for a new staging 30 years later. 

We’ll hear from students at Cal State Dominguez Hills who say that a series of incidents related to race this school year has affected their sense of safety on campus.

Then, How To LA host Brian De Los Santos learns he’s been approved to take what could be a once-in-a-lifetime trip to his homeland of Mexico. As a DACA recipient, there are no guarantees – that he’ll get this chance again OR that he’ll be let back into the U.S. where he’s lived since he was brought here as a small child. His candid conversation with friends, as he prepares to return to Mexico for the first time in 30 years.
