Hispanic heritage honored at local colleges

Colleges around Grand Rapids are planning events this month to honor the independence of several Latin American countries, but one presentation at Grand Valley State University aims to spur individuals to take action regarding the country's ongoing immigration debate.

According to excerpts from the story:

ALLENDALE TOWNSHIP -- As the immigration debate continues across the country, it is important for people to be aware of what is going on and how they can help.

That's the message behind a coming presentation at Grand Valley State University, as part of a series of events observing Hispanic Heritage Month.

The event, called Daughters of Juarez: A True Story of Serial Murders South of the Border, will be Sept. 17 on the Allendale campus and feature a discussion with Univision correspondent Teresa Rodriguez.
