In 1981, Clara Reyes, an immigrant from Mexico, founded Kansas City's bilingual newspaper,
Dos Mundos, in the basement of her Overland Park home. Today, its circulation is listed at 20,000, and it has recently expanded into the Topeka and Odessa, Texas, markets.
Dos Mundos continues its mission to inform, stand up for, and highlight the local Hispanic population. Reyes says: "We are proud to give our community a voice." Hear her talk with R. Crosby Kemper III during
A Conversation With Clara Reyes, at the Kansas City Central Library (14 West 10th Street, 816-701-3400) at noon. A light buffet (courtesy of Truman Medical Center) is offered beforehand at 11:30 a.m. RSVP for this free Global Entrepreneurship Week event at
