Memoir recounts growing up as ‘skinny brown kid’ on border

As politicians spar over immigration, playwright Octavio Solis recounts his childhood as a “skinny brown kid” in El Paso in his memoir “Retablos”. Solis says that though he was in the U.S. legally, Border Patrol would ask him to recite the pledge of allegiance. Jeffrey Brown also talks with Solis about his work consulting for the Disney film “Coco” and his modern retelling of Don Quixote.
