A distinguished religious historian, Dr. Griffin will explore the history and persistence of American racism. He will trace the seeds of racism to Puritan New England rather than the antebellum South, arguing that the Puritans were the first Americans to employ theological justifications for slavery and racism. Griffin is the author of a new book, Seeds of Racism in the Soul of America. America needs to undergo a radical conversion of the mind. There also will be a question and answer session with Griffin at 1 p.m. in room 104 of the North Complex for the public and students interested in learning more about Griffin s book.
All events are open to the public without charge.
