After the Jan. 6 sacking of the U.S. Capitol, we must recommit the nation to appreciate and understand our democratic form of government and our shared history as Americans. This effort should include the structures and artifacts of our past, which can positively inform the politics of generations to come.
We New Mexicans take pride in our cultural heritage. Our history of diverse cultures has given us many examples of both cooperation and conflict. Today we aspire to respect and understand our shared history and different views across many divides. New Mexico is fortunate to have prominent and successful organizations dedicated to preserving and teaching that history.
