NEH Landmarks: Native American and African American Education in Kansas: Keynote Lecture: Comparative Perspectives on Race in Kansas

KU Associate Professor Kim Warren, a leading historian of African American and Native American education in Kansas, will provide a keynote lecture that summarizes the workshop topic in a comparative framework. Her lecture will raise overarching questions that will be addressed throughout the week: How did racial diversity and multiculturalism in Kansas impact educational policies in the decades surrounding the turn of the 20th century? How and why were educational strategies formulated, and by whom? What challenges did Native Americans and African Americans share during this time, and how were their experiences different?
