Convening for a Latino Century.

On March 27, 2014, Maria Hinojosa, the producer of NPR's Latino USA and the PBS series "America By The Numbers" brought the audience to a standing ovation with her inspirational call for Latinos to "own their own American narrative." At stake, she said, was nothing less than preserving the American Dream. The event was covered by the New Haven Independent.
