Watch recorded live on July 4: Farmington Book Launch
ALBUQUERQUE -- "This book has been crying out to be published," John Redhouse said, as he named the great writers he was inspired by as a high school graduate in Farmington when he joined the National Indian Youth Council. "The Red Power Movement was, and still is, very much alive in the Southwest."
"Every chapter could be a book in itself," John said.
John launched his new book in Pyramid Lake, Nevada, Bordertown Clashes, Resource Wars, Contested Territories: The Four Corners in the Turbulent 1970s. This second event was at Books on the Bosque bookstore in Albuquerque.
