A Decade After Pulse: The Quest for Accountability

Description

This June marks a decade since one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history at the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida.  “Sometimes when I close my eyes, I see when I was on the floor on [sic] that restroom,” Jorshua Hernández Carrión, a survivor of the shooting, told us.  Through an interview with Jorshua, and a review of the investigations, Latino USA unpacks the lack of accountability, and how we should honor Pulse victims and survivors. We also talk with Carl Charles, a trans attorney with Lambda Legal, about how violence against the LGBTQ+ community has taken new forms in laws and rhetoric.  Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.
