The series responds to the U.S. semiquincentennial and its accompanying officially sanctioned celebratory accounts of the past. It offers a counternarrative to these accounts through study sessions dedicated to works with alternative anniversaries that undertake a critical appraisal of U.S. history and historical struggles and that reflect the experiences of minoritized communities.
