Bienvenidos! WUKY has a special edition of One on One with members of the group, FLACA, which stands for the Foundation for Latin American and Latino Culture and Arts, and who along with Lexington Parks and Recreation will be putting on the annual Festival Latino De Lexington event at the Robert F. Stephens Courthouse plaza in downtown Lexington. Alan Lytle gets a preview from Francie Chassen-Lopez, Guipsy Lopez and Noe Tirado Muniz.

For the next two nights downtown Lexington’s Robert F. Stephens Courthouse Plaza will take on a more international flavor with the annual Festival Latino De Lexington. The event is presented by the Foundation for Latin American and Latino Culture and Arts – also known as FLACA, and Lexington Parks & Recreation. On Friday morning WUKY's Alan Lytle talked with event coordinator Jessica Piersol about what to expect this year.

Last week we brought you a story about a local high school teacher who won a national award for diversity. Today, WUKY's Alan Lytle takes you inside the Paul Laurence Dunbar High School's newsroom and their efforts to produce daily bilingual newscasts. You'll get to know some of the talented reporters working to make a difference in representation and cultural understanding.
