18:52Now PlayingLoyola Marymount University professor and author Vanessa Diaz joins Court Accountability Action’s MacKenZie Rumage to continue their conversation about Bad Bunny’s landmark Super Bowl halftime show, which showcased subtle—and not-so-subtle—messages of unity, Puerto Rican statehood, and what it means to be American. Vanessa and MacKenZie break down the potent symbolism in the halftime show, how the issue of Puerto Rican statehood—and Bad Bunny’s stance—have become more relevant in recent years, and the conservative backlash to the show.
