Raising Hell And Making A Difference is the first book that has been written about the most productive period of Hispanic activism in Las Vegas, Nevada. In his memoir, Tom Rodriguez, shares his unique insights about that three-decade era, acquired from his being a key activist in most of the major events that impacted the Hispanic community during that remarkable period. Importantly, Rodriguez's book serves to educate young people, particularly minority youth, about the obstacles encountered and the advancements made by past activists that helped to give them the freedoms and opportunities they take for granted and enjoy today. As the years pass, Raising Hell And Making A Difference will help to authenticate the history of the Las Vegas community because it is in this book that people will find the stories of many of the working class Hispanic people that helped to make Las Vegas the world class city that it has become.
