Celebrate Us Speaker Series: Kyle T. Mays

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.
