Episode Synopsis

Today I’m joined by Mark A. Torres, author, attorney, historian, and labor advocate. His writing confronts some of the more difficult corners of American history, from the exploitation of migrant workers on Long Island to the chilling legacy of the eugenics movement centered at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.Through both nonfiction and fiction, Mark brings a deep sense of justice and narrative clarity to stories that might otherwise be forgotten. We’ll talk about how his legal career intersects with his writing, the challenges of telling hard truths, and what continues to draw him to the histories that shape our communities, past and present.http://www.marktorresauthor.com/
