The Los Angeles Times published an important series in the summer of 1983 that showcased the stories of Southern California’s Latino community. The series’ creators were Latino writers, editors, and photographers who wanted to help readers understand the growing community. The series focused on the history, art, politics, religion, labor, and education of the Latino community in Southern California. In addition, the creators wanted to showcase statistics and the personal stories of members of the community in the early 1980s. Published in seventeen parts, the series illustrated the successes and struggles that the Latino community experienced. The primary connecting thread throughout the articles was the question, What does the “Latino American dream” look like? Following its publication, the series won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.
