Videos of Latino Latinx Author Speeches

Prior to the 1980’s, the sight of a Latinx author as a keynote or commencement speaker would have essentially been nonexistent.  Since then, the landscape has gotten a bit more diverse. It still mostly filled with celebrities and mainstream authors, Latinx authors are leaving their mark.
