NMJACL is the state affiliate for the Japanese-American Citizens League (JACL) and traces its origins to 1947 with the formation of the Albuquerque Nisei Club, a social club for Japanese-American families living in New Mexico. NMJACL is also a member of the JACL Pacific Southwest District (PSW), which encompasses the Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Southern California region.
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Big Read annually provides support to select nonprofit organizations to host dynamic community-wide reading programs, each designed around a single NEA Big Read selection.
