Recognition of Rubén Salazar with a new stamp is a fitting tribute. It is fitting that we are advancing the education of our future journalists and scholars in his name.

March 3 marked Salazar’s birth and what would have been his 80th birthday. I have been asked several times, “What do you think Salazar would have done if he had lived?”

Of course I do not know the answer, nor would anyone, but I do think that his career was defined by the times he lived in — as it would have been for any journalist.”*
