Recovering the
The Voices of Justice committee is making a call to Latino media,
organizations, and community leaders to hold celebrations across the nation to
acknowledge and commemorate the 200 years of Latino newspapers. These events
are key to making the public aware of the long history of U.S. Latino print
journalism. Help us to tell this important and inspiring story to the entire
nation.
Become part of the legacy. If you know
descendants of early Latino publishers, or you can share a story about the
Latino press, or you have old Latino newspapers or photographs, let us know.
Individuals and organizations can join in
the celebration by organizing events during the bicentennial year, beginning in
September 2008 and running through September 2009. During this time Acción
Latina will sponsor, co-sponsor and assist with events to raise public
awareness of the history, impact and future of news media serving the
nation’s burgeoning Latino communities.
Everyone and anyone can contribute.
Newspapers can publish a series of articles. Descendants of a family that
published a newspaper can pull photographs and memoirs out of the attic.
Schools and universities can organize a program or conduct historical
research. Journalists associations can honor pioneers. During this time
Acción Latina will serve as a clearinghouse for these activities and list
events on our online calendar of events page.
