Please join the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy's Racial Justice Fellows (Liza Black, Tao Leigh Goffe, Willie Mack, Michael McEachrane, and Hajar Yazdiha) for a discussion on the intersection of current events, xenophobia, race, and citizenship. Some topics of focus will be the history of jurisdiction and citizenship in relation to tribes within the United States and the current attempts to thwart the autonomy and sovereignty of tribal nations under the current presidential administration; the long history of immigration restrictions, nativism, and anti-Blackness in the U.S; and the continuing relevance of King’s triple threat facing humanity (racism, militarism and unbridled materialism) and the need for a revolution of values (from the final chapter World House which was based on his famous speech against the Vietnam war in Riverside Church).
