This is California: The Battle of 187

Ep. 3: Thank You, Pete Wilson


Listen Later

Just one day after the 1994 election, federal and state lawsuits are filed claiming 187 is unconstitutional. And though 187 finally dies for good in 1999, Latinos in California never forget it. Prop 187 inspired more Latinos than ever before to register to vote and to run for office in California. Now, 25 years after 187 passed, the Golden State's bluer than indigo.

Produced in collaboration with Futuro Studios.
