On Friday, May 16, from 5:00 – 6:00 pm, Garcia Street Books will feature well known Santa Fean, Fabian Chavez Jr., who will be celebrating the University of New Mexico Press publication, Taking on Giants: Fabian Chavez Jr. and New Mexico Politics, by David Roybal, political journalist and editorial columnist for the Albuquerque Journal. The book is an anecdotal account of Chavez's thirty year career dedicated to a variety of state posts in New Mexico, blazing new trails into civil rights, education, business, government, and politics. Chavez was instrumental in the creation of the University of New Mexico's medical school, pushed legislation that would reform the state's notoriously corrupt liquor laws, and promoted New Mexico's tourism.
