1973 – A History From the Margins

October 19, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

On Thursday, Oct. 19, University of Iowa professor Lina-Maria Murillo will present her lecture “1973: A History from the Margins” from 10 to 11:30 am via Zoom and in Dejardin Hall, room 708 on the MCC campus.

Lecture: 1973: A History from the Margins 

What could the year 1973 teach us if we examined the lives and perspectives of the most historically disenfranchised, marginalized, and racialized people in the United States? How might their stories, triumphs, and tribulations explain our current historical moment?

Dr. Lina-Maria Murillo explores 1973 from the historical margins:  the Black Power and Chicano Movements, struggles to end the Vietnam War, and the fight for reproductive rights.  She will explain how these communities and movements organized to bring their concerns and visions to the center and reflect on their legacy and impact fifty years later.

The Shear Symposium lecture series was organized by history professor Dr. Tom Colbert in 1984 as a memorial to his predecessor, Professor George A. Shear.  Prof. Murillo’s lecture will be held from 10 am to 11:30 am at Dejardin Hall, room 708, and via  Zoom at https://iavalley.zoom.us/j/94078727759.  Attendees should enter through the Conference Center Entrance on the south side of campus.
