Voices for Justice

I was running in the union I was running late. It was 6:00 in the afternoon I arrived late to the Diego Rivera auditorium late. To see the Voice for Justice speech. As I walked in I saw the prettiest girl from my speech class but I as I walked into the room I saw posters. I walked around I saw several. They dealt with injustices towards Latinos in the past. Now I will write in present tense because you cant write while you walk. Currently I am sitting in the Diego Rivera auditorium next to the pretty girl. She is explaining me how she is thinking into transferring to NYU. Because there are not many opportunities for students with Communications bachelors. The presentation just started, the speaker that is talking is a writer for Borderzine. Her name is Zita; she is talking and explaining the life of Felix Gutierrez, he has PhD in Journalism. He encourages young people a life in the journalism field according to Zita. With my notebook I feel like a journalist right now. Dr. Gutierrez, walked to the podium and he is giving a speech about how Mexicans wrote and how they expressed themselves. With the purpose to stop being discriminated, he says that El Paso was known as the Vatican for Latino magazines and newspapers publishers. He claims that in 1913 about 113 Latino writing were published here in El Paso. Even more he says that El Paso means the step and he says that it the first step to a better life in the U.S. and that his parents gave the first step in 1908. His father was a revolutionary who expressed himself against the racism and discrimination towards Mexicans. I just glanced back and I saw my mentor’s uncle he is wearing a green polo; as a matter of a fact I was thinking that I had to invite him. This is queer, that happens rarely you never know who you will see in the next corner. But I am glad he is here; after the presentation we might be able to talk because I like the way in which he expresses himself. I completed one paper I think that I will listen to what they are saying; since, I like Chicano history and I want to ask a smart question after the presentation.
