Starting Conversations: Blackdom, NM

The New Mexico Humanities Council invites you to join us for a live Zoom discussion on the topic of Blackdom, NM. To register for this FREE event visit www.nmhumanities.org.

Blackdom, New Mexico, founded in 1903 by Francis Boyer and twelve other enterprising African Americans, is one of the state’s most important, yet often most overlooked town. Despite its importance and relevance, the history of this township has been obscured from mainstream history for several decades. We will hear from an interdisciplinary panel of speakers who each have unique insights on the cultural and historical significance of the Blackdom township with a live Q&A from the audience to follow.
