Frank Sotomayor, an L.A. Times staff editor for 35 years and currently associate director at the USC’s Institute for Justice and Journalism, will be speaking at the ceremony which will take place in Washington, D.C. tomorrow.
The City Council declared April 22, 2008 Ruben Salazar Day in Los Angeles.
