The history, music and pride of Rochester Latinos is on display each year at the Puerto Rican parade. The annual tradition has made a comeback after some years away and coincides with this year’s annual Puerto Rican festival, although the two are separate events. This year the parade has a new theme and we hear about it from two of the parade's organizers.

Plus, the Occupy Wall Street movement is now over but elements of it exist in the attitudes of those who both took part in and supported it. What did the movement teach us about equality? It certainly touched off a debate about class in America and how we view our position on the ladder that is American society. The issue is the topic of a discussion at the Lifetree Café in Greece.
