Events

With an eye to memorializing Black, Indigenous, Mexican, and Chinese victims of racial terror whose deaths are not recognized by the nation's first ostensibly national lynching memorial (the National Memorial for Peace and Justice), "Antilynching West" will host a "praxis group" as well as facilitate visits to sites of historical importance within two hours of the Davis campus.

Praxis sessions at UC Davis will combine political education with public humanities skill-building workshops with activist- and artist-scholars who have experience intervening in the popular (mis)memory of racializing violence.

Mobile praxis sessions will allow cluster participants to journey together to two sites of racial terror lynchings in California: the site of the 1893 lynching of Josefa Loazia in Downieville; and Placerville, the site of numerous lynchings throughout the period of westward expansion. 

Please stay tuned for forthcoming information about the praxis session schedule.
