African American Segregation in New MexicoThis report is intended to illuminate what it was like growing up Black in an atmosphere of racism and segregation in New Mexico. The research focuses on the nine New Mexico cities that still maintain the buildings that once served as segregated schools: Alamogordo, Artesia, Carlsbad, Clovis, Hobbs, Las Cruces, Roswell, Tucumcari, and Vado. This story has not been told before. The hope is that these preliminary results will serve as a springboard for additional inquiry. Buildings and landscapes venerated for their association with the Black experience should be considered for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places if they still exist in some tangible or intangible manner. A preliminary list of sites worthy of additional attention are provided for each city. Each narrative concludes with a list of “Suggestions for Future Research.” Although the following topics are more fully explored in the individual case studies, these introductory vignettes provide a brief thematic overview.
