<p>We took Interstate 5 South on a mission to rescue my <em>tía</em> Martha. After 30 years in the United States, she was deported three years ago to Tijuana, the bottom of California – <em>el culo del diablo</em>. We hadn’t heard from her since.</p>
<p>`It was because of the Mexican TV news program, Televisa, that we were able to find her.</p>

<p>I recently asked a group of school kids in Richmond, California to tell me what they knew about Juneteenth and the Fourth of July. They all knew the basics of the Fourth of July – that it marks the nation’s independence day. Not one of them, however, could tell me a thing about Juneteenth (June 19), the holiday commemorating the announcement of the abolition of slavery in the U.S.</p>
