LETTERS Don't fight Blackdom memorial To Whom It May Concern: The recent article in this newspaper concerning the fight against the monument to Blackdom saddened my heart. As a black woman who was born and raised in Roswell, I am painfully aware of the lack of resources offered on African American history in this town. I am also very familiar with the amount of publicity that the alleged UFO crash receives In Roswell. It never ceases to amaze me to see so many storefronts, eateries and museums dedicated to this alleged crash. Why the "powers that be" would fight a $225,000 monument to honor the lives and commitment of the families of Blackdom. but approve a project dedicated to the aliens that is worth millions, is beyond me. It is more than disturbing because it shows a complete lack of concern for this part of Roswell history. Is it because the work of the African American families of Blackdom is so insignificant that they simply do not count? The argument in the newspaper stated that the monument was an issue because the town actually lay 18 miles South of Roswell. Mow sad to know that in 18 miles of travel, an entire town can lose its history to red tape. 1 wonder if Blackdom brought the same amount of money into Roswell as the aliens do, If the construction of the monument would still be such an issue?
