Free Land: Race and Land in America
Ariel Luckey
Friday, 05 Mar 2010 at 12:00 pm – Sun Room, Memorial Union
Ariel Luckey's multimedia presentation provides background information on the Homestead Act, post-Slavery Reconstruction programs, and the Indian Wars, illustrating how racially discriminatory federal land policies of the nineteenth century directly established the patterns of land ownership present today. Ariel Luckey is a hip hop theater artist who weaves storytelling, spoken word poetry, dance, acting, and hip hop music into compelling narratives of personal and political transformation. Luckey's diverse performance locations have included the WTO demonstrations on the streets of Seattle, Café Cantante in Havana, Cuba, and the Nuyorican Poets Cafe in New York City. Part of the Iowa State Conference on Race and Ethnicity, ISCORE.ISCORE 2010
