In this engaging talk Dr. Anna-Lisa Cox will draw upon her extensive research on early African American settlers in West Michigan. She will highlight the multiracial history of West Michigan and place it in the context of the upcoming 250th commemoration of the founding of the United States. Michigan’s committee for the semiquincentennial has designated “Unfinished Revolutions” as one of its guiding themes, and Dr. Cox will demonstrate how West Michigan’s diverse past has embodied this ongoing struggle for freedom, recognition, and rights.
