    "Inevitably, the question I get is 'Is this the role of a journalism organization?' The essence of what we are describing is [a method] for these people to prove that they are human. In some ways, there is no greater purpose of our journalism." 🌟 a tbt!

    Thank you, , for being an AAJA leader and always sharing this story that shows the long-lasting importance of creating opportunities for journalists of color, how far we've come, and the necessary work ahead. Let's continue to carry and pass the torch.

    Image shows the memo from May 20, 1991, announcing my appointment to the full-time staff at the Los Angeles Times. The memo was issued by Karen Wada, the assistant managing editor in charge of hiring and development. The text reads, in part, “Henry Fuhrmann, a two-year temporary METPRO copy editor, has been assigned to Calendar’s Sunday staff as a full-time copy editor. … Fuhrmann is a graduate of the first class of Times Mirror’s Minority Editorial Training Program for copy editors.” I trained at Newsday in 1989-90 before moving back home to L.A. in 1990 to join the Times for the second year of my training.
    Thirty years ago I became a full-fledged staffer upon completing my two-year assignment in our company’s Minority Editorial Training Program. There would be six future Times jobs for me, and six more announcements. I always made sure that Metpro was part of the memo. 1/3
