Dr. Timothy E. Nelson The Afro-Frontier: Blackdom, Borderlands, and African Diaspora in the Digital Age

Join us on January 28, February 25 and March 25 for the El Rancho de las Golondrinas Winter Lecture Series. This long running collaboration explores exciting corners of New Mexico’s history and culture as presented by engaging authors and historians.

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.

Doors: 5:00 PM
Lecture: 5:30 PM
