STEPHEN MAGAGNINI has been the Sacramento Bee's “rainbow writer” since 1994. His projects, "Orphans of History" (about Hmong refugees) and "Mending The Past" (on reparations) appear in the anthologies Best Newspaper Writing 2001 and 2002. In 2001, "Orphans of History" won an ASNE Distinguished Writing award, and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism gave Magagnini a Lifetime Achievement Award for outstanding coverage of race and ethnicity in America. He also has been honored for his coverage of South Africa's free elections in 1994, the tragic modern history of California Indians and the impact of immigrants on Sacramento. Before coming to The Bee as a Sunday Magazine Writer in November 1985, he covered breaking news and investigations for The San Francisco Chronicle. In 2001-2002, he was a Stanford Knight Fellow. A graduate of Hampshire College in Amherst, MA, he still shoots hoops. Once, for a story, he played the Harlem Globetrotters. They held him scoreless.
