Free Press staff report | 3/2/2023, 6 p.m.
Sam Deloria, a 2022-23 Jepson Leader-in-Residence at the University of Richmond, is a Yankton Dakota descendant, a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of Fort Yates, N.D., and a lifetime advocate for Native American peoples and politics.
During a 4 p.m. March 14 presentation, “A Heretical Indigenous View of Institutional Racism,” at the Carole Weinstein International Center Commons at the University of Richmond, he will examine the controversy surrounding the concept of institutional racism as an example of a naive and superficial treatment by both the right and the left of many of the important issues facing the country.
Mr. Deloria is a founding delegate and a former secretary-general of the World Council of Indigenous Peoples.
A reception will immediately follow. Advance registration is required:
