Assignment 27: Who was Rubén Salazar?

Note: One of the most inspiring yet difficult moment in the history of Hispanics in journalism in the United States occurred when Rubén Salazar was killed tragically while covering the Chicano Moratorium in 1970. Students will be asked to read the section on Rubén Salazar on pagtes 211-212 to understand the importance this event had for Hispanics in journalism. They will also be asked to "google" or search for more items on Salazar on the Internet.

Assignment: Write a brief paper on the contributions of Rubén Salazar to journalism. How has his story impacted the role of Hispanics in journalism? How has his life being commemorated or remembered by different organizations nationwide? List some of those honors. Good luck
