Tuesday, October 12, 2004

El Centro Chicano - Jaime Miranda Lounge
Light lunch is provided.

Join our friends at La Raza Staff Association for a discussion on how a lack of diversity in the nation's newsrooms is determining what issues the presidential candidates talk about - and what issues they ignore. Find out why issues of great importance to many of this nation's ethnic minorities are being disregarded by our presidential candidates.
