UNM Africana Studies Black History Month Kickoff Brunch

2024-01-27

|

10:00 AM

UNM SUB Ballroom

Join special guest (and UNM alumna) Aja Nicole Brooks for UNM’s Department of Africana Studies’ 39th Annual Black History Month Kickoff brunch!

Keynote speaker Brooks is Executive Assistant United States Attorney for the District of New Mexico. UNM’s Kirsten Pai Buick says, “With Attorney Brooks, we begin our focus and theme ‘New Mexico: Someone You Should Know.’ We chose her because not only is she from New Mexico, but also because of her emphasis on educating the general public about their rights, as well as her phenomenal record aiding Indigenous people of New Mexico. Brooks best represents our motto: Lifting as We Climb.”

Tickets for this longstanding community celebration are $50. (Some discounted student tickets available for $25.) Get yours HERE!
