SUMMARY:When Haiti Was Our Cradle of Hope
DESCRIPTION:Event Recording here\nWednesday\, October 25th\, 2023\n\n\nTime: 5:00pm-6:30pm\n\n\nLocation: Silver Center of Arts & Science\, Hemmerdinger Hall\n\n\nFear of a Black Republic chronicles how Haiti’s triumphant ascendance created a beacon of hope for free and enslaved Black people throughout the African diaspora\, especially those fighting for freedom in the United States. Cognizant of Haiti’s centrality to the global struggle for Black liberation\, free and enslaved Black people in the U.S. waged an unyielding battle throughout the early nineteenth century to defend Haiti and its sovereignty. In so doing\, they gave birth to a new Black internationalist consciousness—one that not only demanded an end to slavery\, but also insisted on full freedom\, equality\, and sovereignty for Black people throughout the African diaspora. \n \nDr. Leslie Alexander is the Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. Professor of History at Rutgers University and is a Fellow at the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University. A specialist in early African American and African Diaspora history\, she is the author of African or American?: Black Identity and Political Activism in New York City\, 1784-1861\, and Fear of a Black Republic: Haiti and the Birth of Black Internationalism in the United States. She is also the co-editor of three additional volumes\, including Ideas in Unexpected Places: Reimagining the Boundaries of Black Intellectual History. Her current research\, which appears in The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story\, examines how surveillance of free and enslaved Black communities in the colonial and antebellum eras laid the foundation for modern-day policing. A three-time Ford Foundation fellowship recipient\, Alexander is the immediate Past President of the Association for the Study of the Worldwide African Diaspora (ASWAD) and serves on the Advisory Councils for the National Council for Black Studies\, the Journal of African American History\, Black Perspectives\, The Black Scholar\, and the Montpelier Foundation Board. \n  \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. \nEvent Recording here
