In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, HITN MEDIA, the leading Spanish-language public media network in the United States, will present Iconic Dialogues with Rita Moreno, a live conversation at Lehman College's Lovinger Theatre in the Bronx. The event, sponsored by HITN Media and presented in collaboration with the CUNY Mexican Studies Institute (MSI), Feria Internacional del Libro NYC (FILNYC) and Lehman Stages, underscores HITN's longstanding commitment to elevating Hispanic voices, preserving cultural heritage and creating meaningful opportunities for communities to engage with the leaders and artists who have shaped American culture. The public is invited to attend on Tuesday, October 20th, with advance registration required through Eventbrite registration and information.
The event features Puerto Rican actress, singer and performer Rita Moreno in conversation with Cordelia González. Together, they will explore Moreno's career, her cultural legacy and the broader significance of Hispanic representation across entertainment, arts and public life. "We are proud to bring Iconic Dialogues to Lehman College as part of HITN MEDIA's Hispanic Heritage Month celebration," said Michael D. Nieves, president and CEO of HITN MEDIA. "Hosting Rita Moreno, a Puerto Rican living legend at this event reflects our mission to recognize the trailblazers who have expanded what is possible for our communities, bring audiences together to honor our history, affirm our identity and inspire future generations."
Moreno, one of the most honored performers in entertainment history, will share reflections from a career that has spanned more than eight decades and helped broaden visibility for Puerto Rican and Latino artists in American popular culture. A recipient of the EGOT—Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony—she has appeared in film, television and theater productions in the United States and abroad, including the acclaimed West Side Story. Her participation in this event highlights the importance of recognizing Hispanic contributions to American culture, a core mission of HITN MEDIA.
