University of Arizona returns Castro home to family
Season 2, Episode 59, Nov 09, 2023, 02:38 PM
The University of Arizona has ceded ownership of a historic home in Nogales that once served as the residence of the state's only ever Latino governor, Raul H. Castro, and his wife Pat. The home is now back in possession of the late governor's family. Host James E. Garcia speaks to Beth Castro, daughter of the former governor, and Nogales attorney Briana Ortega about the Castro family's claim in a recent lawsuit that the university had breached its contract with them when it accepted the home as a donation but failed to follow through on its public pledge to turn the property into a border studies center.
