Start: 2024-10-03 17:00:00 UTC Eastern Daylight Time (US & Canada) (GMT-04:00)
This is a virtual event
Join Historians for Peace and Democracy (H-PAD) and our partners for an online national teach-in to educate the public, and students in particular, about the origins of the MAGA movement and the Project 2025 policy plan prepared by the Heritage Foundation for a second Trump administration.
Three prominent scholars of racial and political history will speak on the history of the radical right, and illustrate how the proposed policy architecture of Project 2025 advances the long-sought goals of that movement.
Panelists
- Professor Carol Anderson, the Robert W. Woodruff Professor of African American Studies at Emory University.
- Professor Nancy MacLean, the William H. Chafe Professor of History and Public Policy at Duke University and a past president of the Labor and Working Class History Association (LAWCHA).
- Professor Paul Ortiz, Professor of Labor History at Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations.
The panel will be moderated by Bill Fletcher, Jr., a longtime socialist, trade unionist, international solidarity activist and writer. You can follow Bill on Twitter/X @BillFletcherJr.
The teach-in is co-sponsored by a range of groups committed to honest history education, including the American Association of University Professors, the Coalition for Action in Higher Education, Convergence Magazine, the Labor and Working Class History Association, Scholars for a New Deal for Higher Education, and the Zinn Education Project.
