ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with two upcoming events.
The first event is a conversation with Kelly Lytle Hernández, author of “Bad Mexicans: Race, Empire, and Revolution in the Borderlands.” USA Today White House Editor Romina Ruiz-Goiriena will host this conversation live from Washington D.C. The event will be live-streamed in the First Amendment Forum of the Cronkite building and online at Cronkite Live from 4 to 4:45 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 3.
Hernández’s book is about the magonistas, a group of Mexican rebels who revolted against the United States in the 1910s. They started the Mexican Revolution as they continued to threaten the powers above them. Up to 10 raffle winners will receive a copy of her book at the event.
The second event is an online panel interview on Wednesday, Oct. 12 from 3 to 3:45 p.m. Susan Goldberg, vice dean and professor of practice at Arizona State University’s Cronkite School and College of Global Futures, will moderate.
