Season 2026 Episode 103 | 8m 49s

Historian and Pulitzer Prize winner Ada Ferrer has spent her career exploring history, identity and memory. In her new book, "Keeper of My Kin," she turns inward, tracing her own family story across generations, while examining the larger forces that shaped Cuba and the U.S. alike. Geoff Bennett spoke with her about her family history and the stories that families choose to carry forward.
