Red Summer 1919: Commemorating the Past, Confronting its Presence - Geoff Ward

Many African American soldiers returned from WWI with a newfound sense of pride and determination for equality, but home was still plagued by racial violence, heightened during the “Red Summer” of 1919. Dr. Geoff Ward, Associate Professor of African and African American Studies at Washington University, discusses his research and engagement efforts to address the history of racial violence and its legacies today.
Presented in partnership with the National Archives at Kansas City and the Greater Kansas City Black History Study Group.
