On behalf of the University of New Mexico Press, HACU invites one and all to attend a book reading/signing by Armando Rodriguez on Thursday, Jan. 17, at 6 p.m. at the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque. The event is free, open to the public, and will be taped by C-SPAN Book TV for National Broadcast.
Rodriguez has a long record of involvement in education at the local, state, and federal level. He started as a special education teacher in San Diego in 1949. He began working for California's state education administration in Sacramento as Chief of Bureau of Intergroup Relations in 1965, and in 1973 became President of East Los Angeles College.
Rodriguez's book, From the Barrio to Washington: An Educator's Journey,
was published by University of New Mexico Press in 2007.
