SUMMARY:Route 66 Centennial Speaker Series: Rerouting Route 66 through New Mexico.
DESCRIPTION: This presentation addresses the factors leading to the 
 establishment of Route 66 in the new Federal highway system and the 
 politically charged changes that resulted in a 107 mile shortening in New 
 Mexico during the 1926-37 timeframe. La Bajada Hill was removed as an 
 obstacle and problems of crossing the Rio Grande and the Rio Puerco had to 
 be resolved. Presented by Roger Zimmerman.\n\nThis is part of a rotating 
 series of speakers that will offer presentations at these locations in 
 2026: Raymond Sanchez Community Center\; Martha Liebert Public Library\; 
 Gutierrez-Hubbell House\; International District Library\; Isleta Pueblo 
 Cultural Center\;  Los Lunas Multigenerational Center\; Special Collections 
 Library\, East Mountain Library\, Central and Unser Library\, and the
