Azucar! Coin honors Celia Cruz; dramatic film explores LI's Salvadoran community; big honor for NJ charter school

The late Celia Cruz, the Queen of Salsa, now has a coin in her honor. The Cuban icon’s face will grace the U.S. quarter with the word “Azucar.” We take you to the big celebration of the coin’s release.   “These Days” is a family drama about the Salvadoran community on Long Island. It sheds a positive light on Salvadorans in Brentwood. The film has already won several awards. We’ll talk to the film’s producers. The Spanish government has designated a dual-language charter school in New Jersey as an International Spanish Academy, the first Garden State school to receive such an honor. The recognition for Hola Hoboken Dual Language Charter School occurred last month during a ceremony attended by state, county and local leaders and the consul general of Spain.
