Summary: Every year, for a while, our Cinco de Mayo has turned out to be a mess, with stabbings and shootings and riot police and rubber bullets, and the next day, the finger being pointed at "those troublesome Latino youth." This year, things went down different. Listen how.
I liked the way Greg told this in the style of a classic tale. The narrative worked well and kept me engaged. I was glad to hear a a story. It worked as if Greg was telling a story to friends.
The use of sound was strong. I liked hearing several points of view. Some tape from a few more family members, or if possible, some of the potential troublemakers, would have made the piece even stronger.
This style of storytelling is something the KRCB youth do well. It something also heard well in the KRCB "Conversation with Cornel West" piece from Laquoia Simmons.
This would work well in a local magazine program or a drop-in to a news magazine, such as Day to Day.
