An Evening with Dr. Terry Anne Scott
It is no coincidence that the United States has arrived at this moment in time. Amidst the surge in the continued struggle for Black liberation in America, it is vital that we understand how this country’s long history of racial injustice has shaped the system and narrative we find ourselves in today. Context matters.
Project Pilgrimage invites our community to join us for an evening with our resident historian, Dr. Terry Anne Scott on Wednesday, July 1st, 2020 at 5 p.m. (PST). RSVP here for the event link. This virtual lecture presentation will focus on the history of systemic racism and racial terrorism against Black people in America. We’ll explore how these same structures continue to reinforce modern oppression and racist systems.
Dr. Scott is an associate professor of American history and the Director of African American Studies at Hood College. Her interests focus largely on urban history, the intersection of sports and race, African American social and cultural history, and political and social movements. Dr. Scott recently completed a new work entitled Lynching and Leisure: Race and the Transformation of Mob Violence in Texas, currently under review. She is heavily involved in community service, social activism, and serves as our historian “on the bus” for Pilgrimage trips in the South.
A suggested donation of $5 is requested. RSVP here for the event link!
