Knowledge is Power!
The sixth annual National Latino Writers Conference that convened May 21, 2008, at Alburquerque’s National Hispanic Cultural Center was an envy-producing experience for a writer out of Los Angeles.
El Lay lacks anything like the NHCC. Not at UCLA, nor USC, not in outlying places like UCSB nor CSUN does a person find a facility dedicated to Chicana Chicano Latina Latino arts. The NHCC’s art gallery and museo, theatre, exquisite lecture halls, the uniquely fashioned Torreón, full-service restaurant, gift shop, administrative offices, library, and upcoming classroom wing, in a single location, define what a cultural center should be while reflecting what public-private commitment looks like. And self-respect. And love.”*
