FREE Appreciating Diversity Film Series Screening: Cruz Reynoso: Sowing the Seeds of Justice

Born into a family of Spanish-speaking farmworkers, Reynoso went on to graduate from the University of California Berkeley Law School. As the first Latino director of California Rural Legal Assistance (CRLA), Reynoso's advocacy improved the lives of countless immigrants and farmworkers. Appointed by Governor Jerry Brown as the first Latino justice on the California Supreme Court, Reynos ten lost his seat (along with two other justices) in a heated recall battle.

Come hear about Reynoso's many accomplishments and how he navigated through the politics of the time. Reynoso was awarded our country's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, for his lifelong devotion to public service.
