Texas Standard for July 13, 2016
Texas dealing with tensions over race and policing. Moments of healing at a Dallas memorial service, and reminders of past scars. Also: One year ago today, a young woman found dead in her jail cell. The video of the arrest that put her there going viral. Plus: No silver bullet – recommendations for fixes to the state’s foster care system and new challenges right around the corner. And: Texas teens can face intense personal challenges. A look at why it appears young Latinas are especially feeling the pressure. And: Why what was once cool may also be hot. And what’s good is also wicked, today on the Texas Standard:
