DESCRIPTION:Virtual event description:  \n\nIn the early 1900s\, white mobs
  attacked African Americans throughout the United States\, lynching and te
 rrorizing hundreds per year. Without citizenship rights and state protecti
 ons against anti-Black terror\, even after shouldering arms for the Allies
  in World War One\, Black people in the United States and Canada yearned f
 or a leader—a deliverer of sorts—who would help redeem the “race.” The yea
 r 1919 marked a highpoint in anti-Black violence and Black resistance. In 
 their yearnings\, the Black masses\, and some leaders\, too\, embraced a m
 ystical and messianic form of Pan-Africanism. This presentation will explo
 re the dimensions of this racial awakening for Black self-determination in
  the Atlantic World.\n\nWatch on YouTube\n\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nWendel
