Episode 9: Salvi Yorkers: 100 Years of Salvadoran Legacy in New York with Carmen Molina-Tamacas and Cynthia Lopez

In this episode, we dive into the rich history and contributions of the Salvadoran community in New York. Journalist and author Carmen Molina Tamacas discusses her groundbreaking book, Salvi Yorkers, which documents a century of Salvadoran immigration and highlights the community's remarkable achievements in academia, arts, politics, and more.

We also hear from Cynthia Lopez, niece of the late Bernie Lopez, whose family history is woven into the book as one of New York's earliest Salvadoran settlers. Cynthia shares heartfelt stories of resilience during the Salvadoran Civil War, the challenges of preserving heritage, and her family's enduring pride in their roots.
