I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Anthony Jr. , a conductor for \u003ca href=\"http://www.operasj.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Opera San Jose\u003c/a>, explains what Holy Cross meant to his parents and grandparents. “When you’re an Italian-American immigrant, you come here with nothing, and you’re working over there picking prunes all day. The only place you find a little hope and solace for your family, and stability, is in the church: the prayer services, and all the meetings, the pasta feeds, and everything else. It was a center. It was an oasis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their father, Anthony Quartuccio, immigrated here from Monreale, Sicily in the 1930s. His first job was picking prunes on bended knees. “All that beautiful earth,” exclaims Joe Quartuccio, who works at \u003ca href=\"http://www.originaljoes.com/history.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Original Joe’s\u003c/a>, the Italian steak house downtown. “My father used to call it the richest earth in the world. You can plant anything in this valley. And a lot of the Italians migrated here because of that reason.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their eyes all light up thinking of when they were children. It’s a measure of the joy of that childhood that they all still live in San Jose now. Many American-born Italians moved on and out, but there are still numerous organizations that keep the flame of memory alive in San Jose, including \u003ca href=\"http://sonsofsicily.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sons of Sicily\u003c/a>, the\u003ca href=\"http://siciliansisterhood.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Sicilian Sisterhood\u003c/a>, and of course, Holy Cross.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10382988\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/RS13769_10481331_1499256617013368_7316085896852057749_n-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10382988 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/RS13769_10481331_1499256617013368_7316085896852057749_n-qut-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"The Mural of Jesus at Holy Cross Church in San Jose.

And believe it or not, he did. That face of Christ just follows you. And it was devastating to know that was destroyed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anthony Jr. ran to the church on the day of the fire to see for himself.

(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Joseph, Janet, Maryann and Anthony Jr. have come together to reflect on a Little Italy long gone, even before the fire. Anthony Jr. , a conductor for \u003ca href=\"http://www.operasj.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Opera San Jose\u003c/a>, explains what Holy Cross meant to his parents and grandparents. “When you’re an Italian-American immigrant, you come here with nothing, and you’re working over there picking prunes all day. The only place you find a little hope and solace for your family, and stability, is in the church: the prayer services, and all the meetings, the pasta feeds, and everything else. It was a center. It was an oasis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their father, Anthony Quartuccio, immigrated here from Monreale, Sicily in the 1930s. His first job was picking prunes on bended knees. “All that beautiful earth,” exclaims Joe Quartuccio, who works at \u003ca href=\"http://www.originaljoes.com/history.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Original Joe’s\u003c/a>, the Italian steak house downtown. “My father used to call it the richest earth in the world. You can plant anything in this valley. And a lot of the Italians migrated here because of that reason.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their eyes all light up thinking of when they were children. It’s a measure of the joy of that childhood that they all still live in San Jose now. Many American-born Italians moved on and out, but there are still numerous organizations that keep the flame of memory alive in San Jose, including \u003ca href=\"http://sonsofsicily.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sons of Sicily\u003c/a>, the\u003ca href=\"http://siciliansisterhood.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Sicilian Sisterhood\u003c/a>, and of course, Holy Cross.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10382988\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/RS13769_10481331_1499256617013368_7316085896852057749_n-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10382988 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/RS13769_10481331_1499256617013368_7316085896852057749_n-qut-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"The Mural of Jesus at Holy Cross Church in San Jose.

His day job was delivering mail at NASA’s Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, but his passion was painting, and the longer he stuck to it, the bigger the commissions he got.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maryann Quartuccio, who works for the locally well-known Cortese family, was 15 or 16 when she watched her father paint the panels in in the kitchen. “He spent an entire month on the face of Jesus alone,” she recalls. “He was so adamant about making that perfect. And believe it or not, he did. That face of Christ just follows you. And it was devastating to know that was destroyed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anthony Jr. ran to the church on the day of the fire to see for himself. As he stood in the street crying, people driving by recognized him. “People rolled down the window. ‘Hey, Quartuccio! Did they save your father’s painting?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That mural is gone forever. What the Quartuccios pray for now is the future of the church-the soul, as they see it, of Northside San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The opera recounts how Prado struggles to make a living so he can support the love of his life in Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prado’s daughter Noelvia plays herself in the production. She was pulled in last minute when the actor playing her got sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Growing up, my dad always made it a very important part of our life to know our roots and what he came from,” Prado says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Life wasn’t easy for the braceros. Many claim they were unfairly compensated, racially discriminated against, and that there was little federal enforcement of the rights they were promised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is their story, including just the true hard labor of working in the fields,” Rosalinda Verde says. “All the promises that the U.S. had made did not turn out to be in a lot of the instances.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10209437\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/Working.jpg\" alt=\"<i>El Bracero </i> depicts life in the bracero program, which allowed temporary contract laborers from Mexico to the United States.\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10209437\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/Working.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/Working-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u003ci>El Bracero\u003c/i> depicts life in the bracero program, which allowed temporary contract laborers from Mexico to the United States.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>El Bracero\u003c/em> is funded through a grant from the Fresno Regional Foundation, and part of the requirements mandate the opera be performed in a nontraditional setting.

Farming was the main skill that this refugee population brought from Laos in the '70s and '80s. Today, it is still one of the few ways families are able to climb out of poverty.

So Vu tried to get some financial help from the local offices of the USDA Farm Service Agency, or FSA. There was just one problem: Vu did not own her land -- a requirement for receiving aid from the FSA’s Emergency Farm Loan program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Thao, about 80 percent of Hmong growers in the Central Valley lease their land.

However, approving loan applications takes time, he says. Evaluating an application can take a loan officer up to 60 days and is just the first step in the review process. In total, getting a loan request approved can take up to four months -- which Thao of National Hmong American Farmers finds frustrating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s say they needed $10,000 to fix their pump so that they can get water,” says Thao. “So maybe the crop goes one week without water, right?

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
