Albuquerque 1990: January program, February broadcast, Guardian certificate

Three archival dates and objects should not be collapsed into one occasion.

1. Friday January 26, 1990 — LOC Events 1990 folder 15 preserves a program for “Thank You! Mrs. Rosa Parks” at the Albuquerque Convention Center. Order of program lists UNM African Studies greetings, school performers, NAACP Northwest Mesa Branch president Jewel L. Hall. Parks herself is not explicitly listed as a scheduled speaker in the printed order. Documents schedule a ceremony; they do not prove full execution.
2. KNME-TV At Week’s End — AAPB item cpb-aacip-191-80ht7g2q distinguishes created Feb 23 from broadcast Feb 25, 1990. Extant ~30-minute episode includes Parks speaking during a recent Albuquerque/New Mexico visit — thanking hosts, urging Black history not be confined to one month. Footage establishes she did speak, not merely get advertised. Machine transcript is not verified (includes “Alabama” where context is Albuquerque).
3. “Guardian of the Treasury” certificate — LOC scan under New Mexico Treasurer James B. Lewis’s name ceremonially appoints Rosa Parks. No legible execution day. Honorific wording, not a statutory office, employment, fiscal authority, or proof of in-person handover.

January 26 program and the broadcast’s “recent” visit are closely related in subject and locality, but neither catalog nor program explicitly dates the filmed remarks to January 26. Do not turn the February 25 broadcast date into the date of her visit.

Unresolved: no contemporaneous post-event newspaper independently placing recorded remarks on Jan 26; certificate timing/venue of delivery unknown; TV episode is edited report not full speech transcript.
