Every day, as we gather virtually from our remote home-oices in Washington, DC and El Paso, Texas, our number one priority is still to be the very best stewards of each program entrusted to LULAC by our partners. With that duty, comes a responsibility to ensure that the funding they provide goes directly into the programs we committed to delivering to help transform our commu- nities.

About INMATE#1: THE RISE OF DANNY TREJO: With nearly 400 — and counting! — film and television credits since 1985, Danny Trejo is one of the most prolific and recognizable actors around. But his remarkable ascent to beloved Hollywood hero notorious for tough guy roles in Heat, Breaking Bad, and the Machete series was as hard- earned as it was unexpected. In this moving, funny, and revealing portrait, Trejo candidly traces his own sensational out-of-the-ashes journey from troubled kid growing up in Pacoima, CA, to teenage drug addict and San Quentin prison inmate, to ubiquitous film star, restauranteur, philanthropist, and role model. With help from his most ardent champions, including his children, friends, and famous colleagues (Robert Rodriguez, Cheech Marin, and Michelle Rodriguez), Brett Harvey’s affecting profile is as raw and intimate as it is a buoyant celebration of an exceptional California Film Institute, 1001 Lootens Place, Ste.

  • Classism, Ableism, and the Rise of Epistemic Injustice Against White, Working-Class Men
    CLASSISM, ABLEISM, AND THE RISE OF EPISTEMIC INJUSTICE AGAINST WHITE, WORKING-CLASS MEN A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Humanities by SARAH E. BOSTIC B.A., Wright State University, 2017 2019 Wright State University WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL April 24, 2019 I HEREBY RECOMMEND THAT THE THESIS PREPARED UNDER MY SUPERVISION BY Sarah E. Bostic ENTITLED Classism, Ableism, and the Rise of Epistemic Injustice Against White, Working-Class Men BE ACCEPTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master of Humanities. __________________________ Kelli Zaytoun, Ph.D. Thesis Director __________________________ Valerie Stoker, Ph.D. Chair, Humanities Committee on Final Examination: ___________________________ Kelli Zaytoun, Ph.D. ___________________________ Jessica Penwell-Barnett, Ph.D. ___________________________ Donovan Miyasaki, Ph.D. ___________________________ Barry Milligan, Ph.D. Interim Dean of the Graduate School ABSTRACT Bostic, Sarah E. M.Hum. Master of Humanities Graduate Program, Wright State University, 2019. Classism, Ableism, and the Rise of Epistemic Injustice Against White, Working-Class Men. In this thesis, I set out to illustrate how epistemic injustice functions in this divide between white working-class men and the educated elite. I do this by discussing the discursive ways in which working-class knowledge and experience are devalued as legitimate sources of knowledge. I demonstrate this by using critical discourse analysis to interpret the underlying attitudes and ideologies in comments made by Clinton and Trump during their 2016 presidential campaigns. I also discuss how these ideologies are positively or negatively perceived by Trump’s working-class base. Using feminist standpoint theory and phenomenology as a lens of interpretation, I argue that white working-class men are increasingly alienated from progressive politics through classist and ableist rhetoric.

    Ben Mankiewicz Tarana Burke Danny Trejo Quentin Tarantino The Luminary The Impact Award The Visionary The Distinguished Award Award Storyteller Award 2019 TWELFTH ANNUAL Ann-Margret The Legend Award NATIONAL ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT JOURNALISM AWARDS LOS ANGELES PRESS CLUB 12TH ANNUAL National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards A Letter From the Press Club President Good evening and welcome to the 12th annual National Arts & Entertain- ment Journalism Awards. Think about how much the entertainment industry has changed since the Press Club introduced these awards in 2008. Arnold Schwarzenegger was our governor, not a Terminator. Netflix sent you DVDs in the mail. The iPhone was one year old. Fast forward to today and the explosion of technology and content that is changing our lives and keeping journalists busy across the globe. Entertainment journalism has changed as well, with all of us taking a much harder look at how societal issues influence Hollywood, from workplace equality and diversity to coverage of political events, the impact of social media and U.S.-China rela- tions. Your Press Club has thrived amid all this. Participation is way up, with more Chris Palmeri than 600 dues-paying members. The National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards have grown and changed as well. Tonight we’re in a ballroom in the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, but in 2008 the awards took place in the Steve Allen Theater, the Press Club’s old home in East Hollywood. That building has since been torn down. Our first event in 2008 featured a cocktail party with no host and only 111 entries in the competition.

  • Slayer Feiern Release Von „Repentless“
    Vergangenen Freitag präsentierte die Metalband Slayer ihr neues Album "Repentless" samt neuem Video. Video passend zur Veröffentlichung Slayer feiern Release von „Repentless“ 14. September 2015, Von: Redaktion, Foto(s): Nuclear Blast Records Slayer sind zurück – am vergangenen Freitag erschien das mittlerweile elfte Studioalbum „Repentless“ der Metal-Ikone. Zum Titeltrack hat das Quartett aus Kalifornien außerdem ein Video veröffentlicht, das in einem Gefängnis spielt und in dem einige prominente Schauspieler zu sehen sind. Sechs Jahre nach ihrem Grammy-nominierten Album „World Painted Blood“ melden sich Slayer mit ihrem neuen Album „Repentless“ zurück. Die insgesamt zwölf Tracks wurde von Terry Date produziert, die Aufnahmen starteten im März 2014. Bereits im April letzten Jahres präsentierten Slayer einen ersten Song namens „Implode“ und stellten diesen als Gratis-Download zur Verfügung. Zwischen September 2014 und Januar dieses Jahres setzte die Band rund um Frontmann Tom Araya die Aufnahmen des Albums in den Henson Studios in Los Angeles fort. Nun war es am vergangenen Freitag so weit und Slayer präsentierten ihren Fans das neue Werk – sowohl physisch als auch digital. Doch viele Fans waren sich schnell einig: Ganz oldschool sollte das Album auf CD gekauft werden. Kein Wunder: Slayer gründeten sich bereits 1981, dementsprechend gestaltet sich auch die Zielgruppe. Zum Titeltrack haben Slayer pünktlich zum Release außerdem ein Video veröffentlicht (Link siehe Infokasten). In diesem befinden sich die Bandmitglieder in einem Frauengefängnis in Los Angeles, in dem es zu Krawallen kommt. Unter den Schauspielern befinden sich bekannte Gesichter aus der 14. September 2015 1/2 © Rockszene.de 2021 Horrorfilmbranche, wie beispielsweise Derek Mears, bekannt aus Filmen wie „Fluch der Karibik“, Tyler Mane („Halloween“) oder Danny Trejo („Machete“).
