Blackdom, New Mexico: The Significance of the Afro-Frontier

Join the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology in honor of Black History Month as we they welcome historian Dr. Timothy E. Nelson to the Maxwell Museum for a special talk about Blackdom, New Mexico. Moreover, see two new and original artpieces on display by folk artist Karen Collins: Blackdom & George McJunkin (the African American cowboy and archaeologist who discovered in New Mexico a distinctive type of stone tool, now called the Folsom point).

Before the talk in the Hibben Center, a reception will take place from 3:00- 4:30 PM inside the Museum’s center gallery, next to Karen’s art work, where the public will be able to meet Karen Collins and Dr. Nelson in person. Please be on the lookout here on our website for more information on the reception.
