Latinx Artists Promote Covid Shots, Saying Goodbye to 'Roadrunner', Birds Helping CA Farms

Latinx Artists Promote Covid Shots, Saying Goodbye to 'Roadrunner', Birds Helping CA Farms

More than 60 percent of Latinos in some Central Valley counties are still not vaccinated. The numbers are even more dramatic for younger folks, especially teens and those in their 20s -- and for indigenous farmworkers. Now former U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera, along with famed Ranchera singer Carmencristina Moreno and other musical groups, are trying to get the word out through original songs, radio dramas, and poems in Spanish, English, and Mixteco. Plus, as part of our series remembering Californians who've died from the Coronavirus, we hear from the family of Tony Escobar. Tony, who immigrated to San Francisco from Nicaragua, was 68 years old. For them, it was heartbreaking to see Tony -- a star athlete from Mission High School, salesman and all-around family man -- forced to stop moving. And did you know there are fewer birds now than there were 50 years ago? For her series California Foodways, Lisa Morehouse visits farms in Napa and near Watsonville to learn how farmers can help these birds, and some new research that shows how those birds are helping farmers.
