Visiting blogger remembers George Ramos

After the Rodney King verdict riots in 1992, George Ramos wrote a first-person piece in the L.A. Times that began "Los Angeles, you broke my heart. And I'm not sure I'll love you again." Frank Sotomayor, his friend and collaborator on a Times series about Latinos that won a Pulitzer Prize, calls Ramos a tough editor, writer and teacher who stared down a gunman during the riots and reminded students to emphasize the human side of journalism story-telling: "to write not only from the head but also from the heart." Read Sotomayor's Visiting Blogger post on Ramos, who was found dead on Saturday in Morro Bay.
