The 1918 Spanish Flu: Fact vs. Fiction

<div>This week, our friends at the Latino Media Collective take over the Latino Rebels Radio podcast feed with a show from earlier this summer.<br> <br> Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, several politicians and media pundits have cited the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918, tending to ignore the racism and xenophobia that occurred during that time. The LMC speaks with David Dorado Romo to set the record straight. Romo is the author of <em>Ringside Seat to a Revolution: An Underground Cultural History of El Paso and Juarez, 1893-1923</em>.<br> <br> <em>Featured image: People wait in line to get flu masks on San Francisco's Montgomery Street in 1918.
