Today, we hear a viewpoint from Nuestra Raices, Inc., which was founded in 2019 to work among the Hispanic and Latino communities of Baltimore City. In 2024, the organization created the documentary We Are Baltimore, to showcase their organization's work to preserve the diversity of the region's Latino and Hispanic cultures.
Angelo Solera, the Founder and Executive Director of the organization, joins Midday to discuss his organization's outlook for 2025, and the politics of the post-2024 election era.
Correction: During the interview with Angelo Solera, he claimed his organization, Nuestra Raices, Inc., receives, "no support from the city."
That is not true. The Baltimore Children and Youth Fund, which allocates taxpayer money on behalf of the City, gave his organization $125,000 over the last two years. He was also awarded $15,000 in funds the City received from the American Rescue Plan Act.
