Event Description
Drexel’s
Department of History invites all students to join in a consideration
of the long history of racism in American law enforcement, civic
leadership, and public life. With the death of George Floyd at the hands
of the Minneapolis police, the nation has just seen yet another moment
of racialized institutional violence in a seemingly endless line of such
episodes. Why does this pattern endure,
decade after decade? Intolerable to many in George Floyd’s community and
beyond, his killing has led to tremendous public grief and
outcry…Resistance, too, has a history. Please join us for an informal
conversation, for history majors and others, as we come
together to confront the history of this, our own, moment. |
