KCPW's Public Square Airs Live Weekdays @ 11, Repeats Weeknights @ 7

Long-time Chicano activist John Florez enters the Public Square to talk about the growing gang problem in the Salt Lake Valley. Florez says the solutions of the past could work today, especially peer-to-peer mentoring.

With the Days of '47 upon us, the rodeo is in town. That also means animal rights protests. BYU Professor Chris Foster says Utah's founding pioneers would be disappointed that their historic efforts are celebrated with a rodeo and barbecues. The Public Square talks with Foster about Mormonism and Animal Rights, a subject he'll address tonight, 7:30, at the main City Library on behalf of the Utah Animal Rights Coalition. Click here to email Foster about his power point presentation.
