The notice seeks five hundred families to inhabit the all-Black settlement of Blackdom, New Mexico, a site that had approximately 150 residents during the early twentieth century until the Great Depression, at which point it was largely uninhabited.⁠ ⁠ This wanted ad appeared in The Crisis, a quarterly magazine for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), to draw people looking for new opportunities across⁠ the country. Knowing only a few details about the migration of his mother’s family to Los Angeles, Bradford found great resonance with the story of Blackdom: a story of those searching for new possibilities and building community with and for other Black people.⁠ ⁠ See this work by #MarkBradford in #GreatMigrationBkM through June 25.⁠ ⁠ 🖼️ Mark Bradford (born Los Angeles, California, 1961; based in Los Angeles, California). 500, 2022.
