America 250: You Live on Stolen Land—Indigenous Dispossession and the Revolution in New York State

About this event

Community Room. New York could not have become the Empire State without a systematic program of Indigenous dispossession. In this talk, we will look at the history of genocidal violence and dispossession that the American Revolution unleashed, posing critical questions about the nature of the movement for independence on the nation's semiquincentennial. Presented by Michael Oberg, Professor of History at SUNY Geneseo. Henrietta Public Library is committed to creating inclusive and accessible events.
