The Oregon Humanities Center will host Maria Hinojosa<http://futuromediagroup.org/maria-hinojosa/>, American journalist and host of NPR's weekly radio program, Latino USA<http://latinousa.org/>, on Thursday, October 5 at 7:30 p.m. in Straub Hall, 1451 Onyx St. on the UO campus. Hinojosa will kick off the OHC's 2017–18 lecture series on the theme "We the People<http://ohc.uoregon.edu/WeThePeople.html>." Her talk, "From the Front Lines: A Conversation with Maria Hinojosa," will explore what it means to be American from a Latinix perspective.

The first Latina reporter to be hired by NPR, Hinojosa helped to launch Latino USA<http://latinousa.org/>, one of the earliest public radio programs devoted to the Latino community. She has anchored the show for its entire 22-year run, and since 2000 has also been the program's executive producer. In 2010 she became the founder, president, and CEO of Futuro Media Group<http://futuromediagroup.org/>, an independent nonprofit organization producing multimedia journalism that explores and gives a critical voice to the diversity of the American experience. She is also the anchor and Executive Producer of the PBS show America By the Numbers with Maria Hinojosa, through which she has informed millions about the changing cultural and political landscape in America and abroad.

Throughout her career, Hinojosa has been drawn to the mission behind public media and its power to give voice to the diversity of opinions that represent the complexity of our country. Her goal as a journalist is to share America's untold stories and to highlight today's critical issues in a responsible and respectful manner.

The lecture will be live-streamed at ohc.uoregon.edu<http://ohc.uoregon.edu> and is free and open to the public (no tickets or reservations). For more information call (541) 346-3934.
