Displacement, Oppression, and Land Grabs: Rethinking What We Think We Know About California’s History and Institutions 

{ "name":"Displacement, Oppression, and Land Grabs: Rethinking What We Think We Know About California’s History and Institutions ", "description":"Step into the rich and complicated tapestry of California’s history in this panel that draws from two recently released epic books, Palo Alto and The Scandal of Cal, that shed light on some of the often-overlooked stories of exploitation and displacement of Native Americans that underpin the state’s development. From the earliest days of Spanish colonization in the 1700s to the present, California’s history has been shaped by myriad forces, including the relentless drive for expansion, the clash of cultures, and the quest for wealth and power at all costs. Panelists Malcolm Harris and Tony Platt have both written meticulous researched books that expose the dark undercurrents of this history, revealing the injustices perpetrated against indigenous peoples and the complicity of institutions like Stanford and UC Berkeley in perpetuating these injustices. This will be a nuanced discussion that traverses the breadth of California’s history that acknowledges the intersections between power, privilege, and progress in the Golden State.", "startDate":"2024-06-02", "endDate":"2024-06-02", "startTime":"12:15", "endTime":"13:00", "location":"Native California Stage", "options":[ "Apple", "Google", "iCal", "Microsoft365", "MicrosoftTeams", "Outlook.com", "Yahoo" ], "timeZone":"America/Los_Angeles", "iCalFileName":"Reminder-Event" }
