Life did not start well for Sammy Rangel.
“When I was 45, I found out that I was the second child my mom had tried to kill,” he said.
Rangel is the executive director and co-founder of Life After Hate, a nonprofit organization formed in 2011 by former members of far-right extremist groups in the United States.
On Tuesday, he will receive the fifth annual “Hero of the Year” award from HateBrakers, a locally-based nonprofit organization.
