1:14:36Now PlayingJulián Castro discusses his book, "An Unlikely Journey", at a Politics and Prose event at Sixth and I on 10/15/18.
Julián Castro, former mayor of San Antonio and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under Barack Obama, is one of the American left’s rising stars. In this memoir, reminiscent of Barack Obama’s Dreams from my Father, Castro tells the story of his childhood in a struggling San Antonio neighborhood, his activist mother, and his meteoric rise alongside his twin Joaquín, now a U.S. Congressman. Castro’s story of resilience and dedication gives us hope for our country’s future, affirming that the 21st-century American Dream is alive and well.
Castro is in conversation with Jonathan Allen, a national political reporter with NBC News and New York Times bestselling author.
Julian Castro is an American Democratic politician who served as the 16th United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Barack Obama from 2014 to 2017. Castro served as the mayor of San Antonio, Texas from 2009 to 2014 and was selected at the keynote speaker at the 2012 Democratic Convention.
