An Evening with Sonia Nazario

Humanities Kansas will be hosting Kansas native Sonia Nazario for an evening event, "Telling Readers the Truth Means Being an Advocate, Too," as a part of its Latino Stories of Kansas/Historias Latinas de Kansas initiative.
Nazario won the 2003 prize in feature writing for her groundbreaking work titled "Enrique's Journey," a series published in the Los Angeles Times. "Enrique's Journey" follows the journey of a teenage boy from Honduras who traveled on his own to find his mother in the U.S., and exposes the difficulties of Central American children who attempt to immigrate. Nazario published a widely-received book expanding on this series in 2006 with the same name. She is currently working on a second book and continues to be interested in the issue of immigration in the U.S.
The event is part of Humanities Kansas' "Think & Drink" event which combines community discussion with drinks and snacks.
