New Mexico has a rich Black history that often goes untold. Our State Historian, Rob Martinez, has written a fascinating article exploring Black history in New Mexico, from early settlers to present day contributions that shape our state.

While February is Black History Month, these stories deserve recognition year-round.
Read the full article on our blog, Pasa por Aqui, https://newmexicohumanities.org/new-mexicos-amazing-black-history/

"African history runs deep in New Mexico. Black history is often framed within the institution of slavery, but in New Mexico, New Mexicans of African descent were ambassadors, explorers, colonists, soldiers, cowboys, discoverers, settlers, businessmen, educators, and much more. That chapter in New Mexico history continues to be written."

Artist Talk |‘Tewa Nangeh/Tewa Country,’ Saturday, January 17 at 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM at Sky Cinemas: Railyard | 1606 Alcaldesa St, Santa Fe.

While Georgia O’Keeffe frequently claimed ownership of Northern New Mexico, this land has been the continuous home of these six Tewa Pueblos from time immemorial to the present. Tewa Nangeh/Tewa Country resituates the O’Keeffe narrative back in Tewa Country.

Supported in part by the NMHC, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum is hosting a panel discussion at Sky Cinemas in the Railyard in Santa Fe. The event is sold out but the exhibition is on view until September 7, 2026. For more information visit their website at www.okeeffemuseum.org.
