Premieres Monday, June 12, 2023 at 10 p.m. on KPBS TV / Stream now with KPBS Passport! In World War II over a million African Americans fought for freedom and democracy in an army, that was strictly segregated by race. These Black GIs fought to liberate Germany from Nazi rule, as racism reached unfathomable levels at home and their unit. Finding a "breath of freedom" in post-war Germany, Black soldiers experienced for the first time what it felt like to be treated as equals.

Homelessness in the region increased by at least 14% this year, according to the results from the 2023 WeAllCount Point-in-Time Count released Thursday.

Coronado Public Library, in partnership with Warwick's bookstore, welcomes Elena Armas, author of "The American Roommate Experience", in conversation with Lauren Billings, who co-writes young-adult and adult novels with a friend under the pseudonym Christina Lauren. Armas is kicking off her international tour with this event. This event is free and first-come, first-served. A limited number of premium-view reserved seats are available for those who pre-order a copy of the book by contacting Warwick's here or calling the store at 858-454-0347. One reserved seat per book. About "The American Roommate Experience": Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well-paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn't told her family and now has terrible writer's block. Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily she has her best friend Lina's spare key while she's out of town. But Rosie doesn't know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been stalking - for lack of a better word - on Instagram for the last few months. Lucas seems intent on coming to her rescue like a Spanish knight in shining armor. Only this one strolls around the place in a towel, has a distracting grin, and an irresistible accent. Oh, and he cooks. Lucas offers to let Rosie stay with him, at least until she can find some affordable temporary housing. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He'll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. Rosie has nothing to lose. Her silly, online crush is totally under control - but Lucas's time in New York has an expiration date, and six weeks may not be enough, for either her or her deadline.
