October 10th: One Boy's Multicultural Rite of Passage with Carlos E. Cortes, PhD, UCR Professor Emeritus of History. Back by popular demand, an autobiographical play of growing up of mixed ancestry in racially segregated, religiously divided early post-World War II Kansas City, Missouri. The son of a Mexican Catholic immigrant father and an American-born Jewish mother, Cortes had to learn to navigate racial, ethnic, and religious fault lines, while dealing with the internal conflicts of his own divided family.
