    Google is honoring Jovita Idár, a Mexican American journalist who stood up to the Texas Rangers who wanted to shut down the newspaper, El Progreso, in 1914. She pushed for women's rights and education of Mexican American children. Oh, and she's not in the @NAHJ Fall of Fame.pic.twitter.com/uH71bKcNOr

        It looks like the NAHJ is a recent construct. Sra. Idár certainly deserves recognition.

        Of course, we wish the National Association of Hispanic Journalists all the best in their work to support Latinx journalists and reporters. 👍
