Connections With Evan Dawson

Every summer, thousands of people gather in Rochester for one of the city’s most beloved celebrations: the Puerto Rican Festival. It's music and food, dancing and community, but it’s also something deeper. For many people, the festival is a symbol of heritage and pride. A space to be fully seen and heard. And a reminder that Puerto Rican history is Rochester history. Our guests discuss the 55th annual Puerto Rican festival.In studio: Adrián Franco, host of the Puerto Rican Festival Orlando Ortiz, president of the Puerto Rican Festival Angelica Perez-Delgado, president and CEO of the Ibero-American Action League
