Tiempo: Dominican Day Parade, Centro’s new leadership
ABC 7 NY
In this episode of Tiempo, Joe Torres speaks with Yarimar Bonilla, the new interim director of Centro, the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College. Centro is a research institute dedicated to Puerto Rican studies and has been in existence for nearly 50 years. Bonilla, a professor and author known for her work on Puerto Rico’s hurricanes and earthquakes, discusses her vision for the center and the changes made during the pandemic, including a webinar series on COVID-19 for first responders and community leaders on the island.
The episode also features a segment on the National Dominican Day Parade, which was held virtually again this year. The theme of the parade was “Moving forward,” and Joe talks to Cristina Contreras, the Dominican Day Parade Chair, and Tomas Ramos, who is being honored during the event for his work as the Founder of the Oyate Group’s Bronx Rising Initiative.
