DESCRIPTION:Join us for a riveting presentation and conversation on award-winning 
 author Tim Z. Hernandez's new book, . The author will present a brief 
 overview of the book followed by a conversation with independent journalist 
 Gabriel Thompson. The event will close with an audience Q&A and a book 
 signing.\n\nAll They Will Call You is the harrowing account of "the worst 
 airplane disaster in California's history," which claimed the lives of 
 thirty-two passengers, including twenty-eight Mexican citizens-farmworkers 
 who were being deported by the U.S. government. Outraged that media reports 
 omitted only the names of the Mexican passengers, American folk icon Woody 
 Guthrie penned a poem that went on to become one of the most important 
 protest songs of the twentieth century, "Plane Wreck at Los Gatos 
 (Deportee)." \n\nTim Z. Hernandez is a writer and performance artist. He is 
 the recipient of an American Book Award for poetry, the Colorado Book Award 
 for poetry, and the International Latino Book Award for historical fiction. 
 Named one of sixteen New American Poets by the Poetry Society of America, 
 he was a finalist for the inaugural Split This Rock Freedom Plow Award for 
 his work on locating the victims of the 1948 plane wreck at Los Gatos 
 Canyon, the incident made famous by Woody Guthrie's song of the same name. 
 The result of this work is the basis for latest book, All They Will Call 
 You (University of Arizona Press).\n\nGabriel Thompson is an independent 
 journalist who has written feature articles for the New York Times, 
 Harper's, New York Magazine, Slate, Mother Jones, Vice, Virginia Quarterly 
 Review, and the Nation. His articles about labor and immigration have won a 
 number of prizes, including the Studs Terkel Media Award and the Sidney 
 Award. He is the author of five books; his most recent, Chasing the 
 Harvest, is an oral history collection of California farmworkers.\n\n$5 
 General Admission, Free for California Historical Society Members.\n
