20th Annual Tomás Rivera Conference Moves to UCR’s Palm Desert Graduate Center

“Jesus Martinez-Saldaña, legislator of migrant affairs for Michoacan, Mexico, will be the featured speaker at UC Riverside’s 20th annual Tomás Rivera Conference on Saturday, April 28. His topic is “New Rights and New Directions in 2007 for the Michoacan Migrant.”

The conference is scheduled from noon to 5 p.m. at the Palm Desert Graduate Center, 75-080 Frank Sinatra Drive. Admission is free.

The event, which honors the memory of UCR Chancellor Tomás Rivera, this year also observes the 34th anniversary of Festival Floricanto, a celebration of the arts of the people held throughout the United States. The term “floricanto” derives from the Nahuatl Aztec phrase, “In Xochitl in Cuicatl” – flower and song.”
