Vegas PBS has partnered with UNLV’s Women’s Research Institute of Nevada to educate our community about some of the extraordinary women who have shaped Las Vegas into the world-famous and unique destination it is today. The goal of this continuing project is to create and distribute programs that focus on local Las Vegas women who have made significant contributions to the quality of life in Southern Nevada.

We explore the experiences of several Las Vegas veterans during the Vietnam War era. Their stories cover their enlistment, basic training, combat and the aftermath of their military experience.

Vegas PBS' "The Test" follows the development of the atomic bomb during the mid-1950s. Join us as we go behind the scenes to visit those small communities that were affected by nuclear fallout and reveal the turbulent struggles of Nevada’s Atomic backyard.
