Schwarzman Session: Repairing La Memoria Rota

There's an expression, "boricuas hasta en la luna," about how Puerto Ricans retain our identity even on the moon. The phrase hints at the challenge of so many diasporas: how do we maintain a common memory of our people and where we came from? How can we try to satisfy our nostalgia with a deeper, more informed understanding of our history? Alana Casanova-Burgess, host of the La Brega podcast, and Sergio Gutiérrez Negrón, the author of Los días hábiles, host a [lunch?] and lead a discussion of how both journalism and fiction can fill in the gaps in our broken memory while affirming a sense of belonging.
