This workshop focuses on the intersections between African American and Native American history. Participants will approach the topic from the vantage point of their scholarship in early U.S. history. We invite audience participation and exchange.

The moderator will be Nancy Shoemaker (University of Connecticut) and the participants will include: Linford Fisher (Brown University), Alaina E. Roberts (University of Pittsburgh), Manisha Sinha (University of Connecticut), and Michael Witgen (Columbia University).

The event will begin at 4:45pm and continue until 6pm, followed by a reception and book signing.

This program marks OSU’s participation in a national focus on 400 years of African American history, which began with the arrival of some twenty enslaved Africans to Point Comfort, Virginia in August 1619.
