373. Rubia Garcia, part 1

373. Part 1 of our interview with Rubia Garcia. Rubia is from New Orleans. Returning to New Orleans after Katrina, she had an undeniable desire to devote her life to the teaching of underprivileged youth within New Orleans Public Schools. She has retired from teaching to pursue her activism. She has been active with Black Lives Matter for several years, and she has taken point in the protest following the collapse of the Hard Rock Hotel on Canal Street in New Orleans.
