At the outset of his new memoir "Unforgetting," San Francisco-based
journalist and author Roberto Lovato says that epic history is best
understood as a "stitching together of intimate histories." It was
the search for his own family's intimate history that took Lovato
from his native California to El Salvador, where his parents were
born and where war, gang violence and mass migration have laid
siege to the populace for decades. Lovato joins us to share what he
learned about his family and the lives of other Central American
immigrants shaped by humanitarian crises.
