Kurly is joined by Dr. Ernesto Mireles to discuss his latest Documentary Film "War of the Flea: The Fight for Xicano Studies."

War of the Flea: The Fight for Xicano Studies is a real-life David v. Goliath story of Xicano students at Michigan State. Through their involvement with Movimiento Estudiantil Xicano de Aztlan (MEXA), agitation, and grassroots community organizing they forced a major university to establish a Xicano/Latino Studies program. Beginning in 1991, with the police murder of twenty-one-year-old Lansing local Cipriano Torres, Jr., these students and their small and increasingly marginalized community were barraged by attack after attack. This documentary chronicles the main events that changed the trajectory of their lives.
