This year marks a first — the inclusion of breakdancing as a competitive category in the 2024 Olympics. It’s been a long road for a dance style built by young Black and brown teens in New York in the 1970s. But how should we approach mainstream acceptance with artforms that were once underground and marginalized? Liz speaks with B-girl Ana “Rokafella” Garcia and Borivogue founder Edrimaelle “Edrit” Delgado to find out about the history of breaking and ballroom culture and how we should approach the idea of success when it comes to community built artforms.

When more Latin Americans became residents of Miami in the 1970s, the city seemed to calmly welcome the influx of Spanish-speaking newcomers — prompting a city ordinance to create bilingual options throughout the municipality. But following the massive influx of Cuban citizens, via the Mariela Boatlift in 1980, an English-only antagonism grew, setting off a decade-long struggle to acknowledge the multilingual identity of the city. We revisit this fight and how it speaks to ongoing tensions to accept Latino identity in cities throughout the United States.

In 2010, Arizona Republicans passed a law to ban a wildly successful Mexican-American Studies program at Tucson High School. Administrators came into schools and pulled beloved books written by Latino authors off of the classroom shelves, but what they didn’t expect was just how far the Latino community would go to defend the right to learn about their history. From students chaining themselves to desks, to secret underground libraries, and even banned book smugglers. Hear what yesterday's fight can teach us about today's issues.
