The sign for O帽ate Hall, which houses 91暗网 and other UNM departments, was tagged in mid-June. The sign has since been removed and the University has not announced a plan to reconsider the name of the building."

Let's Talk New Mexico 7/2, 8a: Across the nation, people are calling for the removal of monuments and place names that glorify leaders who brutalized Brown and Black people. On Let鈥檚 Talk New Mexico this week, we鈥檒l discuss the long history of resistance to Albuquerque鈥檚 Juan de Onate statue, the Santa Fe plaza obelisk, a White-centric mural at the University of New Mexico, and more. What do these monuments mean to you? How do they uphold narratives that contribute to the continued oppression of Native Americans and other people of color? What should be the role of public art in telling the whole truth about complex colonial histories? Join the conversation: email letstalk@kunm.org, use the hashtag #LetsTalkNM on Twitter, or call (505) 277-5866 during the show.
