UNITY mourns the passing of George Ramos
UNITY Journalists mourns the death of George Ramos, a legendary Latino journalist who was found dead of natural causes on July 23.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
Born in East Los Angeles, Mr. Ramos was part of the pioneering generation of journalists of color who in the early 1970s broke the unspoken “apartheid” that existed in the media. A graduate of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 1969, George served two years in the army, was wounded in Vietnam and awarded a Purple Heart. His journalistic career started in the early 70s and took him from Copley News Service to the San Diego Union to the Los Angeles Times, which he joined in 1978.
