Clara Belle Williams: New Mexico Pioneer in Education
Documentary Showing
Friday, March 14, 3:00pm
The Silver City Public Library will host a free showing of the documentary Clara Belle Williams: New Mexico Pioneer in Education produced by KRWG Public Media. Film producer Christian Valle will give introductory remarks and hold a question and answer session after the film.
Clara Belle Williams was the first African-American student to graduate from the New Mexico College of Agriculture & Mechanic Arts (what is now New Mexico State University), in 1937. Williams taught at the Booker T. Washington School in Las Cruces for more than 20 years, during a time when Las Cruces’s public schools were segregated. Clara Belle’s three sons, Jasper, James, and Charles obtained medical degrees and later founded the Williams Clinic in Chicago. KRWG team members will be present to share some of their new projects, and there will be light refreshments.
