January 28 | 5:30pm
Dr. Timothy E. Nelson
The Afro-Frontier: Blackdom, Borderlands, and African Diaspora in the Digital Age
Dr. Nelson has provided an in-depth study about the all-Black town of Blackdom, New Mexico. Instead of a story of a failed township of Black people fleeing racial violence and second-class citizenship, he found Blackdomites left the South and Midwest in search of opportunity and sovereignty. Join us and learn about the people who followed their economic and social ambitions, and founded the autonomous Black community of Blackdom.
When: January 28, and doors open at 5:00 pm.
Where: St. Francis Auditorium, New Mexico Museum of Art
Tickets: $10 each or $25 for Three Lectures (Purchase the ticket bundle to save!)
