Afro-Indigenous Relations from Black and Red Power to Contemporary Popular Culture
Celebrate Us Speaker Series: Kyle T. Mays
This discussion (part of the Celebrate Us Speaker Series), co-sponsored with UCLA American Indian Studies, asks two questions:
First, what is the relationship between Black Power and Red Power in ideology and practice? Second, how can we build a world on the way to the aftermath of settler colonialism and white supremacy, and what role can expressive culture play?
Based on Kyle T. Mays’s, An Afro-Indigenous History of the United States, this talk will explore the history of Black and Indigenous relations in the US, with a specific focus on the Black and Red Power era of the 1960s and 1970s. He will also analyze the links between blackness and indigeneity in contemporary popular culture.
The event will take place on Monday, Feb. 28th at 1pm.
