Anyhow, let’s move on…

– New book on the publishing horizon:
“Journalist Luisita Lopez Torregrosa‘s A NEW AMERICAN FAMILY SAGA, chronicling the life of a multigenerational Latino family in America — grandparents, parents, siblings, cousins, grandchildren — telling the story of the family’s various paths to this country, their fortunes and misfortunes, the conflicts among and within families (including between the working class and the middle class), and their struggle to take a seat at the American table.”

– New Stamp Honors 60th Anniversary of Landmark Desegregation Case, Mendez et al. v. Westminster School District et al.
