For over 30 years, Maria Hinojosa has hosted the nationally-syndicated public radio program Latino USA, which can be heard on KCUR 89.3 each Saturday at 6 a.m.
She’ll be in town at the Kansas City Art Institute on Thursday for a Jewish Vocational Services event, where she is set to speak about her 2020 memoir "Once I Was You: A Memoir of Love and Hate in a Torn America."
In the book, Hinojosa tells the story of growing up as a Mexican American kid on the South Side of Chicago, while intertwining the history of U.S. immigration policy.
On KCUR's Up To Date, she joined the program to discuss her memoir, her Pulitzer Prize-winning podcast "Suave" and modern rhetoric around immigration.
