Julian Nava, trailblazing L.A. politician and U.S. ambassador, dies at 95

After graduating from Pomona College in 1951, Nava went off to Harvard, which allowed him to lecture across Latin America and Spain, the latter on a Fulbright scholarship. He returned to Southern California to become a history professor at Cal State Northridge when it opened in 1956, eventually becoming one of the last two professors from the school’s inaugural class when he retired in 2000.
