editor of the El Paso Times, discuss their experiences
as Mexican-American men at a panel discussion Wednesday
(April 7) afternoon in the Lowman Student Center Theatre.
Garcia talked about his life as a writer, and Flores,
who also serves on the board of regents for the Texas
State University system, told about being the first
Hispanic ever hired at the Abilene Reporter News in
1973. Both Texas natives stressed the importance of
diversity, getting an education and learning a second
language. |
