Minutes after midnight on May 15, 1970, white members of law enforcement opened fire on students at Jackson State College, a historically Black college in Jackson, Mississippi. Twenty-eight seconds later two young people lay dead, another 12 injured. Based on her most recent book, this talk led by Professor of History Nancy Bristow will situate this event in the broader history of the struggle for African American freedom in the civil rights and Black Power eras, and the ongoing crisis of police violence.

Lecture by Joseph Plaster, author of Kids on the Street. The book explores the informal support networks that enabled abandoned and runaway queer youth to survive in tenderloin districts across the United States and focuses on San Francisco’s Tenderloin from the 1950s to the present.

Monthly “encounters” with migrants at the US-Mexico border remain near record levels, but what does that mean? Who is crossing the US southern border and why?

Professor Monica DeHart will address how shifting politics in Latin America are impacting the demographics and scale of the current immigration crisis while also questioning the ethics and efficacy of US government responses.
