Robin D. G. Kelley is an acclaimed author and the Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History at UCLA.
The title of this series of lectures by UCLA professor of history and author Robin D. G. Kelley is shared with a forthcoming book examining the roots of the Black Spring protests of 2020; as described by Kelley, it will be a historical autopsy of racial capitalism. The specific lecture topics â âThe Price of the Ticket: Making a Killing in Cincinnatiâ (Tuesday), â Count All Womenâs Lives! Abolition Feminism vs Racial Femicideâ (Wednesday) and Where do We Go From Here? Abolition or Fascismâ (Thursday) â should make for a bracing preview of the book. The lectures are presented on Zoom by the Havens Wright Center; register here for the links.
