Join us for a virtual lecture with local author and Pitt History professor, Alaina E. Roberts, with her new book I’ve Been Here All the While: Black Freedom on Native Land. Through chapters that chart cycles of dispossession, land seizure, and settlement in Indian Territory, Roberts draws on archival research and family history to upend the traditional story of Reconstruction, a story that ties African American and Native American history tightly together, revealing a western theatre of Civil War and Reconstruction.
