20 years is nothing, says the tango, and neither is 25 years. It is that a quarter of a century has passed since a mafia gang, under the orders of Alfredo Yabrán, ordered the assassination of Joseph Louis Heads, but society does not forget. And now he will have one less reason to do so: they proposed to call the section of the california streetwhere is located the Publisher Profilelike the photographer. Deserved tribute to the photojournalist, who would reach the streets of Buenos Aires.
The initiative was born from the legislator of the civic coalition, Facundo Del Gaiso. The lilito presented the project on Friday in the Buenos Aires Legislature, where it still has to be approved, and explained that “it is intended to highlight the figure of Joseph Louis Heads, emblem of the fight for freedom of expression in our country”. In California 2715 is the building of the Editorial Perfil, where the magazine NOTICIAS works, in which the photojournalist worked when he was murdered. It was for this magazine that he made the famous photo of Yabrán walking with his wife in the streets of Pinamar, for a March 1996 cover.
“We believe that replacing part of the street California by Jose Luis Cabezas It is a way of honoring and remembering the work of this journalist”, affirms the text presented by Del Gaiso.
