Ways To Subscribe

Recalling how the Alien Enemies Act authorized the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, Kathy Masaoka and Dr. Russell Endo talk to host Lata Murti about why they are protesting the renewed use of the Act against immigrants living in the U.S., including California's Central Coast, today.

Dr. Lata Murti is co-host of Central Coast Voices, heard every Thursday afternoon on KCBX from 1:00-2:00 p.m. After receiving her Ph.D. in American Studies & Ethnicity from the University of Southern California in 2010, Lata has dedicated herself to education, particularly in the areas of diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging.
