Resisting the tide of repression that threatens the teaching of Black history, we should look to that past to understand the ongoing processes that have shaped our world. Our current predicament, marked by extreme inequalities, everyday violence, militarism, and political strife derives in part from the history of colonial conquest, slavery, and imperial warfare. Our struggles for freedom and dignity emerge from that history, too. By understanding it, we might discern the scope, force, direction, and likelihood of the changes ahead—and be guided by the example and the wisdom of our ancestors. Audience Q&A and a reception will follow.

In the the late 19th and early 20th century, the dream of Brazil's elite was the elimnation of black and mixed race people through racial mixture. The country's leadership was concerned with its image around the world as well future success as a nation. This elite class saw the majority population of black and brown people as inferior and responsible for the country's backwardness. The "solution" was opening the country to millions of European immigrants and the elimination of black and mixed race people through the promotion of mixed race unions which they would believed would lead to a Brazil that would eventually be white.

The long and brutal history of the US trying to “kill the Indian and save the man”.

Help our reporting on hidden histories. Submit a story idea here: http://bit.ly/2RhjxMy

Toward the end of the 19th century, the US took thousands of Native American children and enrolled them in off-reservation boarding schools, stripping them of their cultures and languages. Yet decades later as the US phased out the schools, following years of indigenous activism, it found a new way to assimilate Native American children: promoting their adoption into white families. Watch the episode to find out how these two distinct eras in US history have had lasting impacts on Native American families.

In the Vox series Missing Chapter, Vox Senior Producer Ranjani Chakraborty revisits underreported and often overlooked moments from the past to give context to the present. Join her as she covers the histories that are often left out of our textbooks. Our first season tackles stories of racial injustice, political conflicts, even the hidden history of US medical experimentation.
