That Was Exactly Us: Stories of Latino culture in baseball and empathy through adaptive sports
Episode 3
On this week's episode, Katya Mendoza kicks off a series that explores the place that baseball holds in Arizona's border and Latino communities. She begins the story by exploring the topic through the eyes of a touring museum exhibit and her father's life. We then head to Gridley Middle School where Southern Arizona Adaptive Sports is helping students better understand adaptive sports by providing equipment that will allow PE students to play wheelchair basketball.
