As classes resume at the University of Southern California, we are joined by professor Manuel Pastor, who teaches a course called “Los Angeles and the American Dream.” He shares how LA holds a special place in the American narrative — a land of great opportunity but also great disparity.
We then speak with Joaquin Esquivel, chair of the State Water Resources Control Board, about how his upbringing in the Coachella Valley has influenced his strategy on conservation.
