March 2020 meeting – A Change in Plans — The History of Racism

 

Our guest presenter will be unable to join us Tuesday due to complications from her chemo therapy treatments.  We will switch to an informative and challenging subject that is quite timely.

We want to recognize the concern that many people have about the spread of coronavirus.  Colorado currently has only a few documented cases.  If you are uncomfortable in public gatherings, we understand and respect your judgement.  If you are not feeling well by Tuesday, we do ask that you stay home if you are sick.  Otherwise, we look forward to seeing you for a memorable evening with the new topic.

 

The Historical Narrative of White Supremacy

In his book 1984, George Orwell said “Who controls the past controls the future.  Who controls the present controls the past.”  This is the theme of a talk that Jeffrey Robinson gave to the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers about The History of Race in America.  We will view portions of this video and discuss how the concept of white supremacy has consistently been turned upside down in this country.
