Join us for “Examining Christopher Columbus:
Truths and Myths” with Stanford Professor Emerita Carol Delaney! Christopher Columbus statues around the country have been destroyed or removed and American cities have started to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day. In this free webinar we will examine why, from the late 20th century to today, there is fierce critique about him from the perspective of natives with Columbus becoming a figure of such intense controversy as well as the symbol for everything that went wrong. We are left with deep, conflicting opinions about this Italian explorer who went across the ocean four times more than 500 years ago in small wooden ships with only a compass to guide his way - a feat that changed the course of history.

Please join us for this important conversation with Stanford professor emerita and anthropologist, Carol Delaney, author of “Columbus and the Quest for Jerusalem” (Free Press, 2011) as she debunks the myths and lays out the truths about Christopher Columbus. Wednesday, August 12, 6:30pm EST. https://bit.ly/3gDQBKu ... See more
