Protest & Citizenship

Throughout American history many groups have struggled to establish their rights as citizens. While the United States was a grand experiment in republican government, in the beginning only a small percentage was allowed to participate. Over time, citizenship has grown, but this has often not been a simple or a smooth process. Join MHS for a panel discussion with Stephen Kantrowitz (University of Wisconsin – Madison); Crystal Feimster (Yale University); John Stauffer (Harvard University); and Chad Williams (Brandeis University) that will explore this history of citizenship and protest. How have groups throughout American history used agitation to help change the dialog about their position as citizens? How can this history help inform our views and reactions to the changing political climate we see today?
