Professor Reynoso Featured on KQED Forum
The life and career of Professor Cruz Reynoso were the subjects of an episode of the KQED radio news program Forum (hosted by Michael Krasny) on September 20. The program, which includes a lengthy interview with Professor Reynoso, was something of a preview for the screening of Cruz Reynoso: Sowing the Seeds of Justice, Abby Ginzberg's film on his life, which is being shown on Public Broadcasting Service television stations across the country during September. The film will air on local PBS station KVIE at 2 pm on September 28.
A member of the UC Davis School of Law faculty since 2001, Professor Reynoso is an internationally known civil rights leader, the first Latino to sit on the California Supreme Court, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. He has been awarded the UC Davis Medal, the university's highest honor, and the Law School has established the Cruz & Jeannene Reynoso Scholarship for Legal Access to help students with financial needs.
