Why the Work of the Immigrant Archive Project is More Important Now Than Ever
In a time when the contributions and struggles of immigrant communities are being systematically erased from public consciousness, the Immigrant Archive Project (IAP) stands as a powerful counterforce—preserving the stories that define America’s rich and diverse narrative. The IAP, the leading oral history project documenting the modern immigrant experience, is more than a repository of memories. It is an essential safeguard against the dangers of historical erasure, and its work has never been more crucial than it is today. By Tony Hernandez - Founder of The Immigrant Archive Project

CONFESSIONS OF A DEI HIRE
I’m a DEI hire. There. I said it. When I graduated from college, my family did not have connections in the world of journalism or public relations. My family or friends of the family did not have jobs in the media or public relations. Thanks to the LA Times’ parent company, Times Mirror Corporation, and its initiative to diversify newsrooms across the United States, I was fortunate to be given an opportunity to work in the media industry as a daily news reporter.
