A panel discussion on State-Sanctioned Violence against People of Color

East Side Freedom Library 1105 Greenbrier Street, St. Paul, MN, United States

Mohandas Gandhi once famously said, “The State represents violence in a
concentrated and organized form.”

untold stories of those who stand up to resist that violent oppression.
From 1492 to the Trail of Tears to the Homestead Strike to the Black Lives
Matter Movement, this is our history, and it needs to be told.

Panelists:
Chris Mato Nunpa, retired Associate Professor of Indigenous
Nations and Dakota Studies
Karin Aguilar-San Juan, co-editor, The People Make the Peace:
Lessons from the Vietnam Antiwar Movement
Mel Reeves, Journalist
Ricardo Levins Morales, Artist
