[Event] Dr. Arica L. Coleman on That the Blood Stay Pure; African Americans, Native Americans, and the Predicament of Race and Identity in Virginia

Hello - I am reaching out to invite you and interested students to tune in to an important virtual discussion on Tuesday, November 10th.  Join Dr. Arica L. Coleman for a discussion on her book That the Blood Stay Pure; African Americans, Native Americans, and the Predicament of Race and Identity in Virginia, a Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2014, that traces the history and legacy of Virginia’s effort to maintain racial purity and the consequences of this almost four hundred year effort on African American – Native American relations and kinship bonds in the Commonwealth.

 

Dr. Coleman is an award winning, nationally recognized independent scholar, lecturer, and freelance contributor of American history. Her research focuses on comparative ethnic studies and issues of racial formation and identity.

 

This event will be of special interest to anyone studying race relations, or history – and is especially relevant in the context of Wilson’s negative impact on the civil rights we still struggle with today.

We at the President Woodrow Wilson House believe an honest appraisal of history helps us understand ourselves as a nation and as a people. Through our initiatives such as the 15th Point project and Suffrage Outside exhibition – as well as through our ongoing Tuesday Speaker Series – we hope to live up to this ideal and explore all aspects of President Wilson’s legacy.

Please join us and spread the word about this honest exploration of history. 

Tues, Nov 10 | 12pm EST | “That the Blood Stay Pure,” Dr. Arica L. Coleman
