In 1974, Gary Nash published Red, White, and Black: The Peoples of Early America, a pathbreaking survey that reframed early American history to center the experiences and interactions of Native Americans, African Americans, and European Americans. To commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the book, the Autry is hosting a one-day symposium to reflect on the impact of Red, White, and Black on the study and teaching of American history and on the public presentation of that history at museums like the Autry. 

Program includes lunch and a light reception following the afternoon sessions. 

Final schedule and participants to be confirmed.

“Red, White, and Black Turns Gold” is generously sponsored by the following entities and individuals at UCLA: The Dean of Social Sciences (Abel Valenzuela), the Gary Nash Chair (Robin Kelley), the Joyce Appleby Chair (Carla Pestana), the Benjamin Nickoll Family Chair (Brenda Stevenson), the Thomas Lifka Chair (Kelly Lytle-Hernandez), Stephen Aron.
