@JohnnyVigil15 I think celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day rather that Columbus Day is important because the Indigenous were here before anyone else. #nmhist

[Danitza Gayle @DanitzaSh0rTy]

@JohnnyVigil15 New Mexico was the first to make atomic weapons. #nmhist

@DLady379 Many of them suffered from PTSD because of the fact that they were not allowed to share the information. #nmhist

@KaiAragon2 Being that they spoke in a different language there was no one that could interpret the code of the Navajo Code Talkers and is why their role was so important. #nmhist

Los Alamos did not exist and wasn't on any New Mexico maps until after World War II. #nmhist

Albert Einstein wrote a letter to President Roosevelt about nuclear weapons and thats how they created the Manhattan Project. #nmhist

The Manhattan Project was located in Los Alamos making New Mexico the first place to make atomic weapons. #nmhist

Chester Nez was the last of the original Navajo
Code Talkers to pass away. President George Bush gave him a Congressional Medal of Honor. #nmhist

The Marines recruited 30 Navajo Code Talkers during the World War II because they thought it was smart that they could talk in code. #nmhist

In 1983 the Congressional committee realized that it was not a "military necessity" to take Japanese Americans from their homes. #nmhist

[Danitza Gayle @DanitzaSh0rTy]

Franklin D. Roosevelt was the President during the World War II. #nmhist

[Danitza Gayle @DanitzaSh0rTy]

All Japanese Americans were considered to be a threat following the bombing at Pearl Harbor so they forced them into internment camps. #nmhist

[Danitza Gayle @DanitzaSh0rTy]

World War II started because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941. #nmhist

@KaiAragon2 They didnt agree with New Mexico becoming a state because of the fact that there was people that spoke the Spanish language. #nmhist

[Danitza Gayle @DanitzaSh0rTy]

@haleyc1232 It was a long battle of 64 years but it was worth it to finally become a state. #nmhist

[Danitza Gayle @DanitzaSh0rTy]

@haleyc1232 Back in the day people were prejudice of those who spoke Spanish. Today I think it is a big part of the New Mexican culture. #nmhist

[Danitza Gayle @DanitzaSh0rTy]

@haleyc1232 Yes statehood was a long battle but with patience they were finally able to call New Mexico a state. Just goes to show that is good things come to those you wait. #nmhist
