"Sixties Radicalism, Black and White" Panel
"Sixties Radicalism, Black and White" Panel
The Nathan and Jeanette Miller Center for Historical Studies invites you to a panel discussion of “60s Radicalism--Black and White” on Wednesday March 26th from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in Francis Scott Key Hall, Room 0106. This event is co-sponsored with the African American Studies Department.
There has been much study of black radicalism in the 1960s, and much study of white radicalism in the 1960s. Three distinguished scholars will explore these two fundamental components of the 1960s Far Left, looking at intellectual relationships, close political interactions, and perhaps conflicts between the two.
The event's three panelists and their paper titles are:
Nathan Connolly (Johns Hopkins University) "Bulldozing Jim Crow: Slum Clearance as a Civil Rights Imperative"
Thai Jones (Columbia University) "Racism and Revolution: White-Skin Privilege, Liberal Subjectivity, and 60s Radicalism"
Mark Naison (Fordham University) "Radicalized by Race: A Brooklyn White Boy's Revolutionary Journey"
Light refreshments will be served.
The Miller Center thanks Professor Art Eckstein for his help in organizing this event!
