Latino USA, a weekly podcast on NPR, is always recommended listening. The most recent installment, however is particularly noteworthy. Above you'll hear a segment in which reporter Lygia Navarro travels to Butler County to interview several residents of the area and even Sheriff Jones. Check the Latino USA website to hear the podcast in its entirety.
This is yet another reminder of the attention (both positive and negative) which Ohio has received and will continue to receive as this year's election cycle develops. In the report, local community members comment on the discrimination directed toward Latin@s in recent years, and Professor Jeff Timberlake from the University of Cincinnati talks about his research showing distinct anti-Latin@ sentiments among Ohioans. All of this, despite the fact that Ohio has one of the lowest immigrant populations in the country.
It's still nice to see that our story is gaining exposure to a wider national audience.
