You're invited to listen to Author James F. Brooks offers personal stories about his three-decades of research on the intercultural slave system of the Southwest Borderlands, with particular attention to the region along today’s Colorado/New Mexico border. He shares his accidents of discovery, heart wrenching stories, and his ongoing efforts to support descendants of the enslaved and enslavers to make meaning of their knotted pasts. If you are in the area there will be a time of reflection, remembrance, and understanding at the Fort Garland Museum and Cultural Center to view the new exhibit, Unsilenced: Indigenous Enslavement in Southern Colorado, and participate in activities throughout the day. The in-person events are free and open to the public, but reservation is a must.

First, apologies for the technical issues with the Zoom broadcast of Dr. James Brooks' talk, "The Tomorrow of Violence," at Fort Garland Museum last week. Thank you for your patience and your interest in the program. Luckily, we were able to capture a high quality recording of the talk and it's now available on our YouTube channel.
