Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez at OLLU

Meet the University of Texas journalism professor who battled to give Latino veterans their rightful place in filmmaker Ken Burns’ much-anticipated World War II PBS documentary, “The War.”

Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez, PhD, will speak at 7 p.m. on Sept. 28 at Our Lady of the Lake University in the Providence West Social Room and read from “Mexican Americans and World War II,” a volume of essays of which she served as editor.

The OLLU Center of Mexican American Studies is hosting the event.
