Sixty-three years ago today, Medgar Evers returned home to his family only to be met with an assassin's bullet before he could even reach his front door.

The 37-year old father of three, husband, and NAACP leader's life and voice were stolen from us in a senseless act of racial violence.

Today, we honor his courage, his sacrifice, and his unwavering dedication to the fight for justice, equity, and voting rights.

His legacy lives on in each of us. May the movement continue to move forward in his memory.

Each year, Doña Ana County recognizes Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and marks a pivotal moment in our nation's history.

Juneteenth (June 19th) is an opportunity to reflect on the struggles, achievements, and contributions of African Americans, while recognizing the ongoing pursuit of equality and justice for all.

We encourage residents to honor this important day by participating in local events hosted by community organizations as we celebrate progress, foster understanding, and reflect on the work that still lies ahead.

has always been both a declaration and a demand.

A declaration that LGBTQIA+ lives are worthy of joy, dignity, and respect. A demand that the systems around us rise to meet that truth.

This month, we celebrate the resilience of a community that has never stopped pushing for a more just world, and we recommit to that push alongside you.

Equity isn't a destination for some. It's a future we must build together, for everyone.

105 years later, we still remember what was taken from Black Wall Street.

The Tulsa Race Massacre wasn’t just an attack on a neighborhood. It was an attack on Black success, Black wealth, and a thriving community that built for itself despite every barrier placed in its way.

Today, we honor the lives lost, the stories too often left out of textbooks, and the legacy of Greenwood that still lives on. Never forgotten.

Today, the Alabama Federal Court rejected a new gerrymandered map, ruling that it was discriminatory to Black voters in the state. NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson had this to say:

"We applaud the Alabama Federal Court’s ruling today, preserving Black representation. Redrawing maps to silence the voices of entire communities cannot be tolerated. It goes against the very values of democracy that our ancestors fought and died for.

Our chapters in Alabama mobilized to reject this map, and we will continue to fight across the country to protect our voice. Today’s ruling is good news, but we know it is not the end of this fight."
