From humble beginnings in 1979, to now 30 books a year, Arte Público Press at the University of Houston continues to showcase literary leaders in the Hispanic community.

"We're the biggest thing in Latino publishing that's been around for a long time," Nicolás Kanellos, founder and director of Arte Público Press, said. "Way back when, in the civil rights movement, there were a lot of us running around a lot of small presses. But most of them disappeared over the years."

Kanellos said they understood the Latino population would grow, and with that, there would be a need to publish our stories and more. "We were hand stuffing the envelopes for magazines to get them out. We were sorting. Sorting the mail ourselves. We were using actual cut and paste," he said.
