A month before Huell Howser's death in 2013, the author D.J. Waldie wrote about the deeper meaning of Howser's work as a TV personality making shows about everyday Californians for @ThePublicSquare. @joemmathews on why Howser and that essay endure. zps.la/4bbcsFL
Charles Dickson is a self-taught artist and sculptor. He joins us on May 31 for “Is Car Culture the Ultimate Act of Community in Crenshaw?,” a Zócalo/@destinationshaw event. zps.la/dcmay31
"After many hours on the road: Indiana and the Hell is real billboard. I stopped in Bloomington needing food. The sky so blue Yves Klein could have painted it." —Anthony Sutton, "From 'Decorporeal'" zps.la/49Wm5GJ
How can we disagree better? We asked people working to foster civil discourse to share the "secret sauce" for productive debates as part of our "Up for Discussion" series on the public square. zps.la/4dgWZW6
Zócalo is celebrating 20 years! In honor of this milestone, read our ongoing editorial and events series spotlighting the ideas, places, and questions that have shaped the welcoming and diverse public square Zócalo has created. zps.la/zocalo20
V. Joy Simmons is the senior art advisor at Destination Crenshaw. On May 9, she’ll join us for “How Do You Grow a Rose from Concrete?,” a Zócalo and @destinationshaw event. zps.la/dcmay9
What would it take to make the world a less lonely place? From our “Up for Discussion" series on the public square, we tap some friendly people curating and considering how we might connect to one another. zps.la/43VUgNb
.@joemmathews gets asked this often: "Do you know Huell Howser?" It makes sense because, like Howser, he too wanders through California asking people what they're up to. But it's also bizarre—because Howser died in 2013. Read Mathews on Howser's legacy: zps.la/4bbcsFL
“We have a narrative in the West that Shakespeare's like spinach, right? He's good for you," @ASU's Ayanna Thompson told @NPRCodeSwitch—which helped inspire @LeeEmrich's college course on Pop Culture Shakespeare: zps.la/4bd8KLf
As part of our 20th birthday series, we've been thinking about the past, present, and future of the public square. In our final installment, our contributors share how we might make civil discourse more civil. zps.la/4dgWZW6
“Is Car Culture the Ultimate Act of Community in Crenshaw?” On May 31, Zócalo and @destinationshaw will discuss how monumental public art projects and cruising scenes throughout SoCal can bring people together across zip codes. Join us: zps.la/dcmay31
"Sometimes a play can get closer to the heart of a character than data or documentary." Playwright Oliver Mayer shares how he set out to bring Juventino Rosas, the composer of the famous waltz “Sobre las Olas,” back to life. zps.la/3QifEXo
Over the years, we've had compelling thinkers and doers from a wide range of fields—politics, humanities, health, economics, education, technology, foreign policy, arts, science, and beyond—stop by Zócalo. Check out their interviews in the green room: zps.la/3cjL6OA
ICYMI: "From 'Decorporeal'" by Anthony Sutton is our newest #poem, selected by April curator and Zócalo poetry editor Connie Voisine (@CLVoisine). zps.la/49Wm5GJ
Join us and @destinationshaw for the free program “How Do You Grow a Rose from Concrete?” on Thursday, May 9 at 6 PM PDT at Crenshaw High School (or watch live online). See you there! RSVP here: zps.la/dcmay9
We've been thinking about the past, present, and future of the public square as part of our 20th birthday series. From the second installment, we asked people with deep local ties to share what keeps them rooted to place. zps.la/3J0CsXC
Do we even need Shakespeare? @LeeEmrich taught a college class on Shakespeare asking students this. She explains what happened next: zps.la/4bd8KLf
“The new film Civil War is a historic cinematic achievement. British director Alex Garland has made a movie that might be worse than a real American civil war.” —@joemmathews zps.la/4aJ20EV
“How Do You Grow a Rose from Concrete?” Join us and @destinationshaw on May 9 to discuss the genesis and design of the open-air museum coming to Crenshaw Boulevard. Join us: zps.la/dcmay9
Our final "Up for Discussion" installment for our 20th birthday series asks our contributors to answer: How do we disagree in public? zps.la/4dgWZW6

A fascinating story about a complex man and the many ways that Mexican migrants so often navigate transnational ties.
Ethnic studies scholar Adrián Félix traces the life of Andrés Bermúdez, a larger-than-life figure whose story speaks to the countless migrants who have made the U.S. their home while maintaining their connection to their ancestral motherlands. zps.la/3J740L3
@aaas @aaasMassMedia Delighted to welcome @megan_chong to @ThePublicSquare!!!
What makes an inclusive public square? We asked 'Demystifying Disability' author @emily_ladau, @ARCHatIllinois's Benjamin A. Bross, @YoSoyLABamby @TransLatina_C, and writer @luisjrodriguez. Read what they had to say: zps.la/4cW2wkp
.@HiguchiJD joined a great team of panelists at the annual @The_OAH conference to discuss Women as History-Makers, Advocates and Defenders of Rights. These four women are preserving history and making change in their communities.
How many times have I heard a version of this quote, in real life (in my own life), and with all the foster children I work with, and with each future youth? Don't forget this. #fostercare

Today at @ThePublicSquare we published @daria_badior’s Election Letter from Ukraine, which didn’t hold regular elections this month due to martial law. Instead, she writes, democracy continues in other ways: zps.la/3TJKKtb
In a year of elections everywhere, Ukraine does not hold them, for obvious reasons. Some may see it as a "decline" of democracy, but I think democracy can be manifested in other ways. Zócalo asked me to add to their letters about elections in different countries, and I did:
After Russia's February 2022 invasion, Ukraine enacted martial law that includes the suspension of regular elections, which would ordinarily take place this month. @daria_badior on how democracy continues even when elections don't:zps.la/3TJKKtb
