"It Brings Hope": Colombia Inaugurates Leftist Former Guerrilla as Pres. & Afro-Colombian Woman as VP

President Gustavo Petro's inauguration Sunday ushers in a new political era for Colombia, with Francia Marquez Mina becoming the first Afro-Colombian woman to be sworn in as vice president. We feature part of Petro's historic inauguration speech and play part of a recent interview with Simon Mejia, a founding member of the Grammy Award-winning Colombian band Bomba Estereo, who says the new leftist presidency brings hope ... to the underrepresented people of the periphery of Colombia." He also speaks about his time working on a new film project called El Duende" that centers Afro-Colombians, who have long faced violence and repression.
