Sunshine and Shadows in New Mexico's Past is the Historical Society of New Mexico's gift to New Mexico as the state celebrates its centennial year of statehood in 2012. Sunshine and Shadows in New Mexico's Past has one main goal: to reveal the sharp contrasts in New Mexico history. As with all states, New Mexico has had its share of admirable as well as deplorable moments, neither of which should be exaggerated or ignored at the other's expense. The 47th star on the American fl ag represents a proud and beautiful state. Let its light shine through these pages and into a promising future. Sunshine and Shadows in New Mexico's Past reminds us that New Mexico is far older and, in many ways, wiser than its peer states in the Union. The latter states kept New Mexico at bay for sixty-two years, denying the territory's frequent appeals for statehood from 1850 to 1912. But New Mexicans displayed their determined character, forged by centuries of hardships and perseverance, when they finally achieved their statehood goal on January 6, 1912. Recalling their resolute identity, perseverance, and final statehood victory, New Mexicans should celebrate their proud history in 2012, and always. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
