Darrel Wanzer-Serrano sits down with the legendary Iris Morales to talk about the emergence of Puerto Rican studies, student organization and activism from the 1960s to today, and more. Recorded in December 2019 while Morales was at Iowa for a screening of her film and discussions with students and faculty.
