\nStudent walkouts, march on the Strip seen as turning points in local\u00c2\u00a0activism<\/em>
\n\"UNLV<\/p>\n

By Tovin Lapan<\/em><\/p>\n

Students who were the driving force behind a 2006 march that drew thousands to the Las Vegas Strip in support of immigrant rights are the focus of a new book being written by the director of UNLV\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s studies program.<\/p>\n

UNLV professor Anita Tijerina Revilla was a co-editor of the book \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Marching Students: Chicana Activism in Education, 1968 to the Present\u00e2\u20ac\u009d that chronicled the 1968 student walkouts in Los Angeles and how they affected participants and future activism. She authored the book\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s chapter on the Las Vegas Activist Crew, a group of students behind the May Day 2006 march that flooded the Strip with tens of thousands of people.<\/p>\n

Revilla is now writing a book on the Activist Crew, and she said just as the 1968 student walkouts in Los Angeles had profoundly affected participants and the community, so did Las Vegas\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 2006 march and a series of preceding student walkouts.<\/p>\n

The book will be titled \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What Happens in Vegas Does Not Stay in Vegas: Social Justice Activism in Las Vegas.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Revilla will be working on it, as well as another book on activism in Los Angeles, during an upcoming sabbatical.<\/p>\n
