6:00 pm: Reception and Book Signing
7:00 pm: Author’s Talk followed by Q&A
Join us for a special Book Club event featuring a book-signing and author’s talk led by author Ramon Gutiérrez!
In October, we will be reading New Mexico’s Moses: Reies López Tijerina and the Religious Origins of the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement, by Ramon Gutierrez. In New Mexico’s Moses, Gutiérrez dives deeply into López Tijerina’s religious formation during the 1940s and 1950s. An Assemblies of God evangelist turned Pentecostal itinerant preacher, Tijerina used his secularized apocalyptic theology to inspire the dispossessed heirs of Spanish and Mexican land grants fighting to recuperate ancestral lands throughout northern New Mexico and the Southwest.
Free community event. Please let us know who will be attending below.
