14: Dred Scott, Wong Kim & Vanessa Lopez
March 8, 2018 @ 7:00 am PST
While the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees citizenship to those born or naturalized in the U.S., this Constitutional right has endured attacks since its passage in 1868, and it continues to be at risk today. “14: Dred Scott, Wong Kim Ark & Vanessa Lopez” traces these battles from their roots in the struggles against slavery prior to the Civil War, to the fight against the Chinese Exclusion Act in the late nineteenth century, to current anti-immigrant agitation.
Director Anne Galisky will join moderator Helen Morales (Classics, UCSB) for a post-screening discussion.
This event is free but a reservation is recommended in order to guarantee a seat.
Tickets will be released on Thursday, February 15 at 11:00 AM.
