A special children&#8217;s pavilion named &#8220;Cri Cri&#8221; will feature hands on activities, readings, theatre and musical programs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The University of Guadalajara has prepared an academic program with two key themes: human rights and migration, to be addressed by specialists and journalists. Against the backdrop of the Fair, an homage will be held for the legendary social activist Cesar Chavez, with the attendance of his family. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mexico City will hold special pride of place in the proceedings as &#8220;guest of honor,&#8221; appearing in Los Angeles with a program featuring the cultural wealth and diversity of Mexico&#8217;s capital, its history, its international standing and its contributions to the contemporary world. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In their different ways,\u00a0our two countries owe a debt to the Latino community living and working in the United States. Mexico is beginning to recognize the cultural and educational liability suffered by those who have had to migrate for economic reasons, and it is hoping to acknowledge this debt through LeaLA,&#8221; underscores LeaLA Director, Marisol Schulz. <\/p>\n<p>LeaLA is an initiative organized by the non-profit\u00a0University of Guadalajara Foundation USA, and supported by the <i>Feria Internacional del Libro de Guadalajara<\/i> (FIL \u2013 Guadalajara International Book Fair), as well as public and private institutions on both sides of the border.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lea-la.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.lea-la.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<div style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: left; WIDTH: 100%\" id=\"dvprnejpgc04eleftMSAsset394534\" hostedurl=\"https:\/\/photos.prnewswire.com\/prnvar\/20150507\/214660LOGO\" assettitle=\"LeaLA Logo\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"prnejpgc04eleftMSAsset394534\" title=\"LeaLA is becoming the capital of Spanish books in the United States, driven by the market and the most significant traditions of the language.\" border=\"0\" alt=\"LeaLA is becoming the capital of Spanish books in the United States, driven by the market and the most significant traditions of the language.\" align=\"middle\" src=\"http:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/214660\/leala-logo.jpg?p=distribution\"><\/img><\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: left; WIDTH: 100%\" id=\"dvprnejpg909dleftMSAsset394535\" hostedurl=\"https:\/\/photos.prnewswire.com\/prnvar\/20150507\/214661\" assettitle=\"LeaLA Pasillos Aisles\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"prnejpg909dleftMSAsset394535\" title=\"From May 15 to 17 LeaLA is presenting its 4th edition at the Los Angeles Convention Center, with a projected attendance of more than 85,000 people at this major cultural event open to all, absolutely free of charge.\" border=\"0\" alt=\"From May 15 to 17 LeaLA is presenting its 4th edition at the Los Angeles Convention Center, with a projected attendance of more than 85,000 people at this major cultural event open to all, absolutely free of charge.\" align=\"middle\" src=\"http:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/214661\/leala-pasillos-aisles.jpg?p=distribution\"><\/img><\/div>\n<p><b>NOTE TO EDITORS:<\/b> High-resolution images are available at: <a href=\"http:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/multimedia\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/multimedia\/<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n  <\/body><br \/>\n<\/html> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LeaLA book fair makes Los Angeles the capital of books and reading in Spanish\u00a0 The world of Spanish books is\u00a0thriving and becoming stronger at unique cultural festival LOS ANGELES, May 8, 2015 \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212; LeaLA, the Los Angeles Spanish-Language Book Fair returns\u00a0for its fourth edition from May 15 to 17, 2015, with a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":41485,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-educacion","category-general"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41484"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41484\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
