During spring 2005, David Greenberger visited senior centers and other sites around East Los Angeles, recording conversations with more than two dozen elderly Mexican American residents. Those stories are part of a radio project, “Growing Old in East L.A.” The hourlong radio documentary explores the unique challenges this population faces in creating a life in California.
