INSIDE STORIES rebroadcast: Marisol Gonzalez

Episode Summary

This is a rebroadcast of our 3rd episode (we did 3 initial pilot episodes.) There will be a new episode next week. ------- Marisol Gonzalez tells the story of when she and her family moved into an all white neighborhood and were not fully welcomed. She was determined to win over her neighbors and threw a party.  In our interview we talk about the impact this party had on her family and her neighborhood.  We also discuss the difference between telling a story in a classroom to people you know versus on a large stage in front of 200 strangers.
