#UjimaWednesdays | Q&A with Professor Gerald Horne | November, 17 2022

Professor Gerald Horne shifts the traditional understanding of the heroic creation myth of the United States.

In this edition of Ujima Wednesdays, we discussed the “counter-revolution” of 1776, and how the preservation of slavery was a motivating factor for the Revolutionary War.

Dr. Horne holds the Moores Professorship of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston. His research has addressed issues of racism in a variety of relations involving labor, politics, civil rights, international relations, and war. He has also written extensively about the film industry. Dr. Horne received his Ph.D. in history from Columbia University and his J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, and his B.A. from Princeton University.
