The Park Center for Independent Media wants to remind you that today's the day of award-winning journalist Juan González's visit. Tonight, at 7:30 p.m. in Emerson Suites, he will present “The Epic Story of Race and U.S. Media." The event is free and open to all.

González is the coauthor of “News for All the People: The Epic Story of Race and the American Media,” a groundbreaking study that illustrates how racism influenced and was influenced by mainstream media throughout U.S. history. This often prompted enterprising journalists to start up independent media outlets that challenged official narratives. Bill Moyers calls the book an “engrossing story of how the press sees — and doesn’t see — who we are as a people.”
