Headlines From The Times - Saving segregated ‘Mexican’ schools

Marfa, Texas, is known internationally for its arts scene. But on the south side of the city, there’s this old school. It’s a school where teachers once paddled Latino students for speaking Spanish. Now, some of those same students — grandparents and retirees in their 80s — are working to save the long-shuttered segregated Blackwell School and make it a national historic site to teach the history of segregated schools for Latinos in the United States.

This episode has been updated. An earlier version included audio of Jessi Silva describing an integrated school she attended in addition to  the Blackwell School in Marfa, Texas. That school was in California, not Marfa.

In 1967, the very first Saturn V rocket was launched. It was the largest rocket ever built. 

55 years later, it is still the largest rocket ever launched.

However, it might not hold that distinction for much longer. There is a new rocket in town and it might soon displace the Saturn V, and in the process, revolutionize space flight.

Learn more about Starship and how it might totally transform the entire space industry on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily

Getting Hammered - We Have Words

This week, a whole lot of people have a whole lot of things to say: A Jewish member of parliament spars with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who likened protesters to Nazis. To Mary Katharine and Vic's surprise, Rep. Ilhan Omar condemned an outlet that doxxed Canadians who donated to protesters. And on this side of the border, San Francisco parents made their voices heard at the ballot box, voting out school board members who kept schools shut during the pandemic.
