Listen to Tillicum Wawa Interview Bill Bigelow about Arizona's Banning of Mexican American Studies

In mid-January, the Mexican American Studies program in the Tuscon, Arizona public schools was banned along with many Hispanic and Native American authors and books. Tune in to "Tillicum Wawa: Voices of the People," Thursday, February 23rd, to hear an interview with Bill Bigelow, author and co-editor of the banned book "Rethinking Columbus," and longtime member of "Rethinking Schools" for an interview about the banning of his book and the banning in general.
Tillicum Wawa is Eugene Johnson, Shusli Baseler-Johnson, and Vicki "Redwillow" Creel and can be heard every Thursday from 6-7pm on KBOO 90.7fm in Portland, Oregon.
