April 4

Garden City, NY – The Nassau Community College Cultural Program will present the program What Would You Do? on Monday, April 4, at 9:30 a.m. in the Multipurpose Room of the College Center Building. Having grown up in a poor family of migrant workers to eventually become ABC's first Latino correspondent, Emmy Award winner John Quiñones will share his powerful story and ask us to take a good look in the mirror. What do we do when we witness injustice, racism or bullying — as an individual?...as a nation? Do we step in or do we step aside? (Download hi res photo)

During his tenure at ABC, Quiñones has also reported for the newsmagazine 20/20. His work for What Would You Do? captures the way people react when confronted with dilemmas that compel them to either take action or walk away.
