The U.S. Civil War is typically understood as a struggle against slavery and, therefore, one defined along a racial binary. While largely true, this understanding tends to exclude a number of racial minorities who also participated in the Civil War. To better understand the experiences of individuals who identified as neither Black nor White, join Daniel Sieh as he showcases how Asian people dealt with being caught in the middle of the Civil War and how they were seen by those around them.
This is a FREE event, but registration is required. The deadline to register is Friday, November 15.
