The Blackwell School Alliance is a nonprofit organization based in Marfa, Texas, dedicated to preserving and amplifying the experiences of Mexican American students during the era of de facto segregation. The Blackwell School, which operated from 1909 until 1966 as a segregated school for Mexican American children, now serves as a museum and was designated a National Historic Site in October 2022.

In July 2024, the site was transferred to the National Park Service, which has since taken over its operations. The Alliance continues to work towards uplifting these important yet often overlooked stories, contributing to a more complete understanding of American history.
