USC proudly welcomes Professor Gerald Horne to campus in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution. Prof. Horne will discuss the shifting definitions of race during the Revolution as Black soldiers, celebrities, radicals, and officials criss-crossed the border, sometimes for, sometimes against, and sometimes outside of the aims and interests of the US racial state. Along with discussant Professor Ruth Wilson Gilmore, this talk will challenge us to consider the legacy of the Mexican Revolution in the context of ongoing anti-racist struggles for freedom and dignity.
