KUNM Tonight: Ralph Arrellanes Reports on National Latino Congreso

From Javier Benavidez:
Please tune in to KUNM 89.9 tonight, Monday, September 18th, at 8:00 PM for "Espejos de Aztlan," a weekly radio program highlighting the courage, strength and beauty of the Chicano/Latino community in New Mexico. Ralph Arrellanes, of the Hispano Round Table of New Mexico (HRTNM), will be interviewed about his representation of the HRTNM as a delegate to last weekend's National Latino Congreso in Downtown Los Angeles, an event coined as the first comprehensive gathering of Latino leaders, organizations and elected officials since 1977.

Over 2,000 delegates from throughout the country gathered at the event "to establish a long-term Latino agenda and action plan, to educate and train a wide range of Latino community leaders, elected officials and activists on critical issues, and to mobilize Latino community leaders, with a special emphasis on establishing opportunities for new and young leaders." For more information about the National Latino Congreso, please visit www.latinocongreso.org.

Espejos has been on-air since 1979 and is part of the Raices Colectiva which conducts programming on news, culture and music from a Latino perspective on KUNM 89.9.
