“Native Americans, African Americans, and Jim Crow”
- Tuesday, November 3, 2009, 4:00pm ET, Royall Room, George Watts Hill Alumni Center.
The James A. Hutchins Lecture: Professor Theda Perdue focuses on the ways in which white racism has divided Indians and African Americans. Race relations in the South developed in the context of a colonial economic system that rested on Indian land and African labor. The dispossession and expulsion of most Native peoples by 1850 meant that the Indians who remained became a small minority scattered across the region. They struggled to retain their ethnic identity, especially in the Jim Crow era when whites sought to preserve their own racial purity by categorizing both Indians and African Americans as "colored." Native communities often set up their own churches and schools, which they closed to African Americans and defended against integration. The result was the marginalization of Indian people at the time and the subsequent exclusion of Indians from histories of the period.
(This lecture is free and open to the public. Light refreshments.)
