@aquafoxe16 @staylorHistory Do you think the community is Los Alamos is fairly built? Or do you think the locals are being pushed out and forced to live in the environmentally destroyed areas of the valley?

@aquafoxe16 @staylorHistory The long term effects of the bomb are majorly understated! I wonder if they would have tested the same way had they known the full effects of nuclear warfare when used on land

[haleyc123 @haleyc1232]

@aquafoxe16 @staylorHistory The deep history in every corner of New Mexico is fascinating! Can you imagine being a part of the nuclear team?!

@aquafoxe16 @staylorHistory Doing anything to conserve water in this area is so important! It is amazing to me that much of the water for the area and for the Rio Grande is not even local anymore!

[haleyc123 @haleyc1232]

@aquafoxe16 @staylorHistory That is a huge plus! However, do you think that educational opportunity is fair for everyone considering the huge socioeconomical divide in that area due to LANL? The huge wage gap and environmental issues there make the area very complicated

the rich neighborhood on the hill in Los Alamos dumps trash into the water that runs into the poor valley below it. #nmhist

[haleyc123 @haleyc1232]

Los Alamos is one of the wealthiest counties in the country, surrounded by some of the poorest areas in New Mexico. #nmhist

Beveridge stands out as many things in history, but always as very close minded, racist politician. What a way to go down in history!

[haleyc123 @haleyc1232]

Albert J Beveridge was a senator from Indiana who strongly opposed New Mexico's statehood due to the fact that many people spoke Spanish. #nmhist

[haleyc123 @haleyc1232]

@aquafoxe16 @staylorHistory Do you think we could assume the protests came as Chavez was leading many in New Mexico away from the Republican politics of that time?

[haleyc123 @haleyc1232]

@cindyorama5 I loved learning this, I would have had no idea. It is amazing that it took so long for New Mexico to be recognized as a valuable state, even after so many diverse groups helped in many battles over the years.

[haleyc123 @haleyc1232]

@aquafoxe16 @staylorHistory The great depression was a challenging time for everyone, but in times of despair we are usually able to bounce back with new ideas to avoid similar mistakes. Thats the hope at least

[haleyc123 @haleyc1232]

@aquafoxe16 @staylorHistory Isn't it amazing how art is always so healing in times of crisis? I think we are all being reminded of that during this pandemic as well.
