#NativeAmericaCalling: Remembering the 1974 #Navajo border town murders
Friday, April 19, 2024
"The torture and gruesome murders of three Navajo men by white high school students touched off a series of racially-fueled conflicts in #FarmingtonNewMexico, on the border with the Navajo Nation.
"The murders in April 1974 became known as the #ChokecherryMassacre. One protest organizer at the time called Farmington 'the #SelmaAlabama of the Southwest,' referring to the simmering racial tensions.
"Demands by Navajos and other #NativeActivists since then have improved relations in the border town and surrounding areas somewhat.
"But many residents and observers say the sources of the problems remain just below the surface.
"Join Native America Calling to recount this little-known period of #FourCorners history and discuss what community relationships are like 50 years later.
