Author John Lantigua, Arte Público Press founder and Director Nicolás Kanellos , Ph.D., and Advisory Board President Geraldina Interiano Wise visit during a fundraising luncheon at the University of Houston Hilton Hotel on September 28, 2007.
The luncheon featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and Edgar Award-nominee John Lantigua was a fantastic success, with attendees mesmerized by his stories of covering civil war in Central America, crossing illegally into the U.S. with Mexican immigrants, and uncovering voter fraud in Florida . The luncheon was held to help Arte Público Press continue its mission of publishing Hispanic literature in order to reform education and U.S. culture to more accurately include, value, and reflect Hispanic contributions and customs.
