In celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, Henry Cisneros, the former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Development, will give a lecture Oct. 11 at Michigan State University.

Cisneros will speak on three topics: Cities and the economy, smart growth and sustainability, and American Latinos and the nation’s future.
As a four-time mayor of San Antonio, Texas, he is one of the first Hispanic Americans to have run a major city. The American Mayor named him one of the nation’s 15 best mayors of the 19th and 20th centuries.
