Honoring Ancestors: The Significance of Día de los Muertos

Dia de los Muertos gives us a yearly opportunity to remember loved ones who have passed away. In honor of the holiday, we provide our listeners with a radio altar. It’s a chance to call in and share testimonials – or audio ofrendas – for those who’ve left us. Have you recently lost a family member, a neighbor, a friend or even a celebrity you admired? Tell us what they meant to you.

Guests:

Martina Ayala, executive director, Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts

Antonieta Mercado, professor and director of the Program in Latin American Studies, University of San Diego
