In the second installment of the Wednesdays at the Center 2020-2021, we rebroadcast a September 2006 W@TC presentation in which Dr. Franklin brings all the history of dismantling legally protected segregation in the United States to an intimate moment, connecting the struggle for racial equality to the contemporaneous open wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the imminent economic recession that would be hardest on people of color.
Moderated by Dr. Miguel Rojas Sotelo (Adjunct Professor in International and Comparative Studies, Duke University), with comments by Pedro Lasch (Research Professor of Art, Art History and Visual Studies at Duke), Christina Chia (Associate Director, Franklin Humanities Institute, Duke), and Ranjana Khanna (Professor of English, Women's Studies, and the Literature Program at Duke University.)
For a technical issue, the last 8 minutes of the conversation are missing (part of Prof. Khanna's remarks and the final Q&A.)
Notes about the series:
The W@TC series, the John Hope Franklin Center, and the international area study centers in DUCIGS have worked in the past to address issues of racism, inequality, and marginalization, both globally and locally.
This year, we will intensify our focus on anti-racism in a special series:
JHF | Global Anti-Racism (histories of action.)
