A special author talk by Dr. Manuel Medrano, UT-Brownsville will take place Monday Sept. 27 at 7pm. Dr. Medrano will discusses his latest book Americo Paredes: In His Own Words, An Authorized Biography. This book is a groundbreaker and a true treasure that many will apreciate the methodology behind its completion. A book signing will follow the talk.
This event is part of a seven speaker lecture series to commemorate Hispanic Heritage Month. This is the second year that the Mexian American Studies Program hosts this lecture series under their Platicas Sol de Aztlan Chicana/o Lecture Series. Event will be at the Pecan Campus Library, 2nd Floor, Rainbow Room.
