In Remembrance of Joseph McCoy, Robert P. Jones will speak about The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy

Please join us as we honor the memory of Joseph McCoy, who was lynched in Alexandria in 1897, with a program that exposes the tangled roots of White Supremacy in America and the Western World. Dr. Robert P. Jones, the award-winning author of The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy and the Path to a Shared American Future, will reframe our origin story and expose the paradoxical impact and legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery, while also sharing stories of other communities doing similar work as ACRP. After speaking there will be a book signing, books will be available for purchase at the event. Don’t miss this opportunity to Remember Joseph McCoy by engaging with the more difficult parts of our past.
