Mirabal speaks on the scientist\, explorer\, cartographer and santero. \nMirabal’s lecture\, “Defining the Colonial World: The Explorations Don Bernardo de Miera y Pacheco\,” is at 2 pm\, Sunday\, Aug. 14\, in the History Museum Auditorium. The lecture is free with admission; Sundays are free to NM residents. \nMirabal has worked with institutions including the University of New Mexico and the Archdiocese of Santa Fe and has served as a curator at El Rancho de las Golondrinas Living History Museum. His areas of expertise include the art history of Spanish New Mexico and the Spanish Catholic experience during the colonial and Mexican periods. \nMiera y Pacheco (1713-1785)\, he says\, “is often unjustly referred to as colonial New Mexico's `jack-of-all-trades’ or wrongfully as a `Renaissance man.’  He was\, in fact\, the embodiment of the term `polymath’—a person of encyclopedic learning who was proficient in astronomy\, cartography\, mathematics\, geography\, geology\, geometry\, military tactics\, commerce\, husbandry\, oenology\, metallurgy\, languages\, iconology\, iconography\, liturgy\, painting\, sculpture and drawing.  \n“If that wasn’t enough\,” Mirabal says\, “as an explorer\, he had an adventurous spirit with a keen eye for the details of the customs\, dress\, and practices of the various indigenous tribes of the American Southwest of the 18th century.” \nMirabal has constructed a biography of Miera y Pacheco and created a database of the maps he drew of Spain’s northern colony and artwork he created\, including a monumental stone retablo built in 1759. That altar screen was once the main altar of the Capilla Castrense\, the military chapel built on the south side of the Santa Fe plaza in 1761. The chapel was built to serve the soldiers and families of the presidio. It remained the military chapel until 1859 when the altar screen was dismantled and reassembled in the sanctuary behind the St. Francis Cathedral. In 1939 it was moved to the sanctuary of the newly built Cristo Rey Church on Canyon Road where it remains today. \nMirabal’s research includes historical civil and ecclesiastical documents\, a genealogical study\, Miera y Pacheco’s maverick geometrical and scientific data\, archaeology\, artistic foundations\, iconographic analysis and an examination of several unpublished artworks. \nDownload a high-resolution image of the Santa Barbara retablo by clicking on "Go to Related Images\," below.

Despite playing critical roles within Native society\, their stories are largely unknown. \nEunice Petramala will begin to fill in those gaps when she speaks on “Through Her Eyes: An American Indian Woman’s Perspective” at 6 pm\, Friday\, Aug. 12\, in the History Museum Auditorium. The event is free and part of the exhibit Home Lands: How Women Made the West\, as well as the Santa Fe Mountain Man Trade Fair. \n“I’ll be focusing on some women who are well known and some who are not to give them a chance in the spotlight as well\,” said Petramala\, who has Cheyenne heritage and works as a ranger at the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site in Colorado. Through that job\, she said\, “I have found a new found respect for my Native roots. Woman had a large role in Native society\, then and now.  ” \nHome Lands: How Women Made the West\, through Sept. 11\, anchors the History Museum's summer-long exploration of women. Originally organized by the Autry National Center in Los Angeles\, it features additional materials from the History Museum’s collections. \n  \nThe Santa Fe Mountain Man Trade Fair runs Aug. 11-14 in the Palace Courtyard.

The event is free with museum admission. Sundays free to NM residents and children 16 and under. \nAmong the things you'll see: \nSpinning: String made from plant or animal fibers serves as the basis for many of New Mexico’s fiber art forms.  Pueblo people used drop spindles to spin cotton or yucca fibers\, which they later wove into cloth.  Spanish settlers  in the 17th century introduced both the upright spinning wheel and Churro wool.  Churro – with its long stapled fibers – became the predominant textile fiber in all three preexisting weaving traditions: the Pueblo\, Navajo\, and Spanish.    \nVisitors will be given the chance to transform Churro wool roving into yarn with master spinners using both the huso or malacate (or drop spindle) and the torno ahilado (the upright spinning wheel).  The Española Valley Fiber Arts Center will provide a variety of drop spindles\, spinning wheels\, roving\, and examples\, and help visitors experiment with this highly tactile activity.  \nWeaving: Pueblo\, Navajo\, and Spanish weaving traditions exist side-by-side here in Northern New Mexico\, and often intermingle.  Historically\, Pueblo people used back-strap looms to make sashes and belts and vertical weighted looms for larger fabrics\, blankets\, shirts\, and dresses.  The Navajo have historically used Navajo style or frame looms.  And the Spanish relied primarily on the European treadle loom\, which has since been incorporated into all three traditions.  These looms have served as a vehicle for tradition and personal expression\, as is evinced in the diversity of motifs present in northern New Mexico weaving. \nParticipants will be given the chance to examine a variety of loom types (including backstrap\, Navajo style\, and jack loom)\, and try their hand at weaving.  Contemporary weaving will be on display.  The Center will provide looms\, yarn\, and weaving instruction.  \nHome Lands: How Women Made the West\, June 19-Sept. 11\, is the centerpiece of the History Museum's exploration of women this summer. Originally organized by the Autry National Center in Los Angeles\, it features additional materials from the History Museum’s collections. The largest of the summer’s four exhibits\, it sweeps across the centuries in three regions: the Rio Arriba of northern New Mexico; Colorado’s Front Rage; and the Puget Sound. \nDownload high-resolution photos from the Home Lands exhibit by clicking on "Go to related images" at the bottom of this page. \nOther summer exhibitions at the History Museum celebrating the unsung heroes of the West: \nRanch Women of New Mexico\, April 15-Oct. 30 in the Mezzanine Gallery\, highlights 11 women in this excerpt from an exhibit originally prepared by photographer Ann Bromberg and writer Sharon Niederman. \nNew Mexico’s African American Legacy: Visible\, Vital and Valuable\, May 15-Oct. 9 in the second-floor Gathering Space\, tells the stories of the families who planted their roots and created a home in the Land of Enchantment following the Civil War. \nHeart of the Home\, May 27-Nov. 20 in La Ventana Gallery\, spotlights historic kitchen items from the History Museum’s collections. \nThe full schedule of lectures and workshops supporting these exhibitions; all are free and in the History Museum auditorium unless other noted: \nSunday\, June 12\, 2-4 pm: Symposium on “The Journey of the African American North\,” including stories from Santa Fe and Española. \nSunday\, June 26\, 2 pm: “Captive Women in the Slave System of the Southwest Borderland.” Lecture by James F.

(Seating is limited.) At 6:30\, come to the Palace of the Governors Courtyard for a toe-tapping and boot-scooting performance by Breaking Blue. (Wear your dancing shoes!). Preceding the band\, Albuquerque spoken-word poet Carlos Contreras will perform his poem “Communion in the Desert (A Trip to the New Mexico History Museum).” \nAll the events are free. Come for one or for all three. \nEach performer has a tie to El Palacio\, the magazine of the Museums of New Mexico. Houston wrote about why she chose the Western life in the summer issue of El Palacio\, “My Ranch\, Myself: Making a Home on the Land.” (For an earlier El Palacio interview with Houston\, go here.) Breaking Blue wrote a song based on an article in the winter 2008 issue of El Palacio\, “Dearest Annie: Letters from Fort Selden.” And an interview with Contreras along with “Communion in the Desert” ran in the spring issue; a video of him performing it in the Palace Courtyard is on the magazine’s web site. \nHouston’s new book\, Contents May Have Shifted\, will be published by W.W. Norton in early 2012. Among her earlier books are Cowboys Are My Weakness\, Waltzing the Cat\, A Little More about Me\, and Sight Hound. Her stories have been selected for volumes of Best American Short Stories\, the O. Henry Awards\, the Pushcart Prize\, and Best American Short Stories of the Century. She has won the Western States Book Award\, the WILLA award for contemporary fiction\, the Evil Companions Literary Award\, and multiple teaching awards. Director of creative writing at the University of California\, Davis\, Houston also teaches in The Pacific University low residency MFA program\, and at writers’ conferences around the country and the world\, including the Taos Summer Writers' Conference. \nShe lives on a ranch at 9\,000 feet in Colorado near the headwaters of the Rio Grande. \nBreaking Blue's members come from different walks of music – from jazz to heavy metal to classical – but are united in a passion to perform what they call "shabby-chic Americana music." Along the way\, they’ve revived some traditional American “Old Time” songs and lyrics that have been forgotten or re-written over the years. \nIn 2009\, the group won the Santa Fe Bluegrass Festival Song writing contest. Other awards include the 2011 New Mexico Music Award for Best American Song ("Old Roads"); the 2010 Santa Fe Bluegrass Festival Old Time Band Competition; and the 2010 Albuquerque Folk Festival Band Contest. \nContreras competed on the team that brought the National Poetry Slam Championship home to his native Albuquerque. His awards include the New Mexico Hispanic Entertainers Award for Poet of the Years in 2007. With the Voces program at the National Hispanic Cultural Center\, he leads workshops in poetry composition and performance. Contreras has published poems in several anthologies\, and a book\, A Man in Pieces: Poems for My Father. \nFor “Communion in the Desert\,” El Palacio commissioned him to tour the New Mexico History Museum/Palace of the Governors and compose a poem about the trip. \nFounded in 1913 as the scholarly journal of the state’s then-only museum – the Palace of the Governors – El Palacio has covered the exhibits\, public programs and scholarship of the Museum of New Mexico’s four Santa Fe museums (New Mexico History Museum/Palace of the Governors\, Museum of International Folk Art\, Museum of Indian Arts and Culture/Laboratory of Anthropology\, and New Mexico Museum of Art)\, as well as the Office of Archaeological Studies and the six State Monuments (Coronado\, Jemez\, Fort Selden\, Lincoln\, Fort Sumner\, and El Camino Real International Heritage Center). \nDownload high-resolution images of Houston and Breaking Blue by clicking on "Go to related images\," below. \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/1079-readings-by-pam-houston-and-bluegrass-tunes-by-breaking-blue-an-el-palacio-magazine-event/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/1079_thumb.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Marlon Magdalena":MAILTO:marlon.magdalena GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110725T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110725T163000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175440Z CREATED:20110707T034903Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175440Z UID:10002020-1311586200-1311611400@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Women Planting Seeds: Home\, Healing and Horticulture A Two-Day Home Lands conference DESCRIPTION:Join the History Museum and the New Mexico Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts for a conference on "Women Planting Seeds:  Home\, Healing and Horticulture\," from 9 am to 4:30 pm\, on Monday\, July 25\, and 9 am to 12 pm\, on Tuesday\, July 26\, in the History Museum Auditorium.

Children and grandchildren of artists associated with the Palace of the Governors' Portal Program will demonstrate their own arts and crafts in the Palace Courtyard from 9 am to 3 pm\, July 23 and 24. \nSee the artwork\, purchase refreshments\, and strike up a relationship with an artist still learning his or her craft. \nThe Native American Artisans Program (commonly called "the Portal Program") provides the children an opportunity to learn from their parents and grandparents and to continue the cultural economic development supported by their hand-crafted works. The Young Natives Arts & Crafts Show is free; enter through the Blue Gate south of the New Mexico History Museum's main entrance. \nAlong the south side of the Palace of The Governors\, Native American artists and craftspeople sell their handmade goods to tourists and local Santa Feans almost every day of the year\, rain or shine. The 900+ vendors of the Native American Artisans Program represent 41 tribes\, pueblos\, chapters and villages in New Mexico\, the Navajo Nation\, and parts of Arizona. The Vendors Committee creates and enforces rules for those who sell their work under the portal. The rules emphasize authenticity (a maker's mark is required on all goods)\, traditional materials\, and handmade work produced as generations of Native artisans have created it. \nThe vendors at the Palace of the Governors sell only the highest quality merchandise: handmade by the vendors themselves\, not mass-produced or imported.

Madsen of Salt Lake City discusses his book\, Exploring Desert Stone: A Visual Portrayal of the 1859 Macomb Expedition from Santa Fe to the Canyonlands of the Colorado (Utah State University Press\, 2010) at noon on Wednesday\, July 13\, part of the Brainpower & Brownbags Lecture Series. Lectures are held in the John Gaw Meem Room. Enter through the museum's Washington Avenue entrance. Free. \n In 1859\, Capt. John N. Macomb\, chief of the Army's Corps of Topographical Engineers in New Mexico\, received $20\,000 to locate a military route from Santa Fe into Utah\, somewhere near the junction of the Green and Colorado rivers. His became the first expedition to officially explore and map the wild deserts and canyon lands earlier crossed by the easternmost end of what was called the "Old Spanish Trail\," a trading route from Santa Fe to California. \nMembers of the expedition crossed paths with the likes of Kit Carson and Bishop Lamy and produced a portfolio of lithographs depicting everything from Camel Rock to Shiprock and beyond. \nEven today\, the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers\, now in Canyonlands National Park\, near popular tourist destination Moab\, cannot be reached or viewed easily. Much of the surrounding region remained remote and rarely visited for decades after settlement of other parts of the West. \nMacomb's expedition produced an early and substantial documentary record\, including the first detailed map of the region.

The native New Mexican\, home economist and author saw them as an opportunity to thrive. \nDuring the Depression\, she worked for the New Mexico Agricultural Extension Service\, helping Hispanic and Tewa women learn new gardening and poultry-raising techniques\, along with how to can vegetables and fruits\, use sewing machines\, and make simple home repairs. She valued traditional ways and documented the recipes for everyday fare that would one day grace restaurant menus throughout the state. \nAt 2 pm on Sunday\, July 10\, Dr. Tey Diana Rebolledo\, regents professor at the University of New Mexico\, will speak on Cabeza de Baca’s life and legacy. Her lecture\, “Fabiola Cabeza de Baca and the Good life\,” in the History Museum Auditorium\, is free with admission; Sundays are free to NM residents. \nWhen Cabeza de Baca began working for the Extension Service\, none of the other agents spoke Spanish\, even though more than half of the state spoke no English. Working at first in Rio Arriba and Santa Fe counties\, she traveled among towns from dawn until midnight. “Some of our counties are larger in area than many of our eastern states\,” she once said. “We say so many miles to a person rather than persons to a mile.” \nIn the 1940s\, Cabeza de Baca began writing – Extension Service bulletins\, including “Noche Buena\,” documenting traditional cultural practices; The Good Life\, a fictional account of a family and recipes of their favorites foods; and We Fed Them Cactus\, which told of her family’s four generations on the Llano Estacado\, blending nostalgia with a critical view of how progress was affecting Southwestern Hispanics. \nIn her later years\, Cabeza de Baca became an active member of La Sociedad Folklorica of Santa Fe\, an organization dedicated to preserving Spanish culture. She died in 1991. \nRebolledo is a noted scholar of Chicana literature\, along the way earning an NEH Fellowship\, a Bogliasco Institute Fellowship\, a Rockefeller Fellowship and a Danforth Fellowship. She has been named a Distinguished Professor\, a UNM Regents' Professor and a New Mexico Eminent Scholar. Her publications include The Chronicles of Panchita Villa and Other Guerrilleras: Essays on Chicana/Latina Literature and Criticism (University of Texas Press\, 2005); Women Singing in the Snow: An Analysis of Chicana Literature (University of Arizona Press\, 1995); and\, as co-author\, Infinite Divisions: An Anthology of Chicana Literature (University of Arizona Press\, 1993). She is also the co-editor of Nuestras Mujeres and Las Mujeres Hablan\, as well as many journals and book chapters. \nHome Lands: How Women Made the West (through Sept. 11) anchors the History Museum's exploration of women this summer. Originally organized by the Autry National Center in Los Angeles\, it features additional materials from the History Museum’s collections. \nThe summer's full schedule of lectures and workshops; all are free and in the History Museum auditorium unless other noted: \n \nSunday\, June 12\, 2-4 pm: Symposium on “The Journey of the African American North\,” including stories from Santa Fe and Española. \nSunday\, June 26\, 2 pm: “Captive Women in the Slave System of the Southwest Borderland.” Lecture by James F.

Brooks for the kickoff of the programming series for Home Lands: How Women Made the West. At 2 pm on Sunday\, June 26\, Brooks\, president of the School for Advanced Research\, speaks on “Captive Women in the Slave System of the Southwest Borderland.” The lecture is free with admission (Sundays free to NM residents) in the History Museum Auditorium. \nBrooks is the author Captives & Cousins: Slavery\, Kinship\, and Community in the Southwest Borderlands (University of North Carolina Press\, 2001). The book explores the origins and legacies of a flourishing captive exchange economy within and among Native American communities and European colonists. His research begins in the Spanish colonial era and runs through 1909\, when an American woman discovered she had inherited 32 Ute slaves – possibly the last slaves in the United States. \nBrooks writes that indigenous and colonial traditions of capture\, servitude\, and kinship formed a "slave system" in which victims symbolized social wealth\, performed services for their masters\, and produced material goods under the threat of violence. Slave and livestock raiding and trading provided labor\, redistributed wealth\, and fostered kin connections that integrated disparate groups even as they renewed cycles of violence. \nIn its Rio Arriba section\, Home Lands includes a late 19th-century blanket woven by a Navajo woman held captive in a Spanish home. The blanket shows how the forced blending of cultures resulted in an evolution of weaving traditions\, with Native American techniques influencing Spanish techniques\, and vice versa. (Download a high-resolution image of the blanket by clicking here.) \nHome Lands\, open June 19 through Sept. 11\, anchors a summer-long celebration of history’s unsung heroes. Its companion exhibits: Ranch Women of New Mexico through Oct. 30; New Mexico’s African American Legacy: Visible\, Vital\, Valuable\, through Oct. 9; and Heart of the Home\, through Nov. 20. Originally organized by the Autry Museum and augmented with items from the History Museum\, Home Lands explores the stories of women across the centuries in three geographic regions: New Mexico’s Rio Arriba\, Colorado’s Front Range\, and Washington’s Puget Sound. \nThe full schedule of lectures and workshops supporting these exhibitions; all are free and in the History Museum auditorium unless other noted: \nSunday\, June 12\, 2-4 pm: Symposium on “The Journey of the African American North\,” including stories from Santa Fe and Española. \nSunday\, June 26\, 2 pm: “Captive Women in the Slave System of the Southwest Borderland.” Lecture by James F.

The event is free with admission; Sundays are free to New Mexico residents. \nRita Powdrell\, president of the African American Museum and Cultural Center of New Mexico and one of the symposium’s organizers\, sees it as an interactive opportunity for panelists and audience members to share information. The museum\, which is still seeking a physical home\, helped pull together the African American Legacy exhibition\, which focuses on Albuquerque\, Las Cruces\, and the post-Civil War community of Blackdom. The AAMCC is actively collecting information about other parts of the state to one day expand the exhibition’s reach. People with oral histories\, as well as photographs\, diaries and other ephemera are encouraged to attend. \nThe symposium will divide the topic into eras\, from 1880 to the present\, with discussions on original families\, churches and social organizations\, patterns of integration and segregation\, and entrepreneurship. \n“We will cover some issues that are unique to Santa Fe\,” Powdrell said. “Why African Americans came to Santa Fe and northern New Mexico. What social constructs they found when they arrived. What types of social constructs they put in place to enhance their survival and collective identity. How did they interact with other ethnic groups in the area? What types of dynamics in schools and the job market might have mitigated against a stronger African American presence there.” \nMable Orndorff-Plunkett will moderate the discussion. Panelists include Ernestine (Tina) Lawrence\, great-granddaughter of William Slaughter\, who came to Santa Fe in 1884; poet and health activist Doris Fields; Gary Williams\, deputy director of the New Mexico Office of African American Affairs; and Jermaine LeDouix\, a 2011 graduate of Santa Fe High School. \nNew Mexico’s African American Legacy: Visible\, Vital\, Valuable is on display in the museum’s second-floor Gathering Space through Oct. 9. A second symposium\, “Entrepreneurship in the African American Community” will be held from 2-4 pm on Sunday\, Sept. 25. \n The exhibit joins three other summer exhibitions celebrating the unsung heroes of the West: \nHome Lands: How Women Made the West\, June 19-Sept. 11\, originally organized by the Autry National Center in Los Angeles\, features additional materials from the History Museum’s collections. The largest of the summer’s four exhibits\, it sweeps across the centuries in three regions: the Rio Arriba of northern New Mexico; Colorado’s Front Rage; and the Puget Sound. \nRanch Women of New Mexico\, April 15-Oct. 30 in the Mezzanine Gallery\, highlights 11 women in this excerpt from an exhibit originally prepared by photographer Ann Bromberg and writer Sharon Niederman. \nHeart of the Home\, May 27-Nov. 20 in La Ventana Gallery\, spotlights historic kitchen items from the History Museum’s collections.

The event is free with admission; Sundays free to NM residents and children 16 and under. \nReception hosted by the Women’s Board of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. \nSince the 1860s\, African Americans have been a significant presence in our state. The exhibition\, New Mexico's African American Legacy: Visible\, Vital and Valuable\, highlights the contributions of African Americans to New Mexico and the iridescent threads they have woven into this state's cultural quilt. Curated by Clarence Fielder and Terry Moody\, along with Brenda Ballon Dabney and Rita Powdrell\, with graphics by Charlie Kenneson\, the show is presented in cooperation with the African American Museum of New Mexico in Albuquerque. It covers subjects as diverse as original families\, newcomers and descendants\, religion\, social organizations and more. \nThe 1850 U.S. Census lists 61\,525 Anglos and just 22 blacks in the New Mexico Territory. Near the end of the Civil War\, four black regiments–the famous Buffalo Soldiers–were sent to the area to protect settlers. Many returned to the south\, where they shared stories of the lands they had seen. \nThe advent of the railroad drew more black residents\, attracted by jobs in rail service and the hotels and restaurants that cropped up around train stations. Others brought their skills as farmers; some opened barber shops\, mechanics shops\, boarding houses and catering businesses. \nBy 1920\, 5\,733 African Americans lived in New Mexico. (The 2000 Census shows nearly 63\,000.) \nTold on a series of panels\, the exhibit focuses on migration\, families\, churches\, social organizations and entrepreneurs\, along with the struggles against segregation. Among the people it features: \nCedric and Merdest Billingsley Bradford\, longtime operators of the U-Tote-Em Grocery Stores in Las Cruces. Merdest returned to college after her children were grown and earned a sociology degree from NMSU. She helped develop and lead Planned Parenthood in Dona Ana County and was president of the state chapter of the NAACP in the 1970s. Cedric worked briefly for the WPA during the Depression. In 1967 he led a citizens' group to support public education. At the age of 60\, he earned his high school equivalency degree. \nElder Euland Greer migrated to Tampico\, Mexico\, as a boy\, with his parents and grandparents to escape oppression in the States. His family knew Gen. Pancho Villa and his army and\, at one point\, were suspected of harboring them in their home. They moved to New Mexico in 1913 after his grandmother and father disappeared. Along with his mother\, sister and brother-in-law\, Elder Greer helped establish God's House Church in Albuquerque. \nClara Belle Drisdale Williams became the first African American to graduate from New Mexico State University in 1937. After a career of teaching others\, she was honored with an honorary law degree from NMSU in 1980\, along with an apology for how she was treated as a student. (Three of her grandsons became physicians.) \nSuch successes were hard-won against the forces of prejudice. From 1870 to the 1950s\, Albuquerque had segregated hotels\, restaurants and movie theaters. Las Cruces schools were segregated. Even in Albuquerque's integrated schools\, social practices isolated African Americans. At graduation\, they were separately; their pictures were in the back sections of yearbooks; they were unwelcome at proms and so held their own parties.  \nBlack workers could only rise so far. African American men were generally relegated to jobs as porters\, janitors and cooks; women were limited to jobs as maids\, caretakers\, domestic cooks and caterers. \nThe Dona Ana County branch of the NAACP formed in the 1930s and was credited\, in part\, with the peaceful integration of Las Cruces schools in 1957. (Many people credited the smooth transition to the fact that Anglo\, Hispanic and African American children had always played together after school–a true-life example\, perhaps\, of how "a child shall lead them.") \nThe 1964 Accommodations Act brought integration to all of New Mexico. \nTo download high-resolution images from the exhibit\, click on "go to related images\," below. \nOther programming in conjunction with the exhibit: \n \n2-4 pm\, Sunday\, June 12: “The Journey of the African American North\,” symposium by the African American Museum and Cultural Center of New Mexico.

Kyce Bello and recently published by Sunstone Press\, will celebrate the book’s release and its namesake river in a reading on Friday\, May 6\, from 5:30 to 7 pm in the History Museum Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public. A booksigning will follow. \nConceived in response to the 2007 designation of the Santa Fe River as Most Endangered River in America\, The Return of the River offers an alternative narrative to the dominant story of the river’s ruin by celebrating it as the ecological\, historical\, and social heart of Santa Fe. The Return of the River includes the words of writers and poets\, historians\, artists\, and ecologists who eloquently and passionately express their hopes for a living river. Their words range from scholarly to deeply personal\, from practical to whimsical. The result is a convergence of landscape\, community\, and creativity that recognizes the interdependence of all three. In a time when the planet faces unparalleled threats\, The Return of the River is a testament to the belief that the most damaged places can be healed\, and that ordinary voices can be the agent of that change. \nAmong the contributing poets and writers reading at the May 6 event: Valerie Martinez\, Jack Loeffler\, Miriam Sagan\, Angelo Jaramillo\, Barbara Rockman\, Santa Fe Living Treasure Melinda Romero Pike\, and others. \n For interviews and event information\, contact Kyce Bello\, editor / (505) 474-7998 / akbello@hotmail.com \nFor review copies\, contact Carl Condit / (505) 988-4418 / orders@sunstonepress.com.
