SUMMARY:OHC Work-in-Progress Talk: "The Price of Freedom: Race\, Consumptio
 n\, and the Long Black Freedom Struggle\, 1915-1970"
DESCRIPTION:The Oregon Humanities Center hosts weekly Work-in-Progress Talk
 s to showcase the humanities research of its many fellows. This week\, Mic
 ah Jones presents her research on "The Price of Freedom: Race\, Consumptio
 n\, and the Long Black Freedom Struggle\, 1915-1970." Jones's project is a
  history of consumerism and civil rights activism in the Jim Crow South. S
 he documents the discrimination Black shoppers faced in white-owned stores
 \, and how they protested these practices. She also tracks how broader cha
 nges in the retail industry impacted Black consumers\, in particular. For 
 Black southerners\, securing their civil rights was not enough. True freed
 om necessitated full and equal access to all realms of public life\, from 
 the polls to the produce aisle. Join us for this Work-in-Progress Talk in 
 the OHC Conference Room (Prince Lucien Campbell Hall 159) at noon on Frida
 ys. These events are free and open to the public. Please register for this
  event online at ohc.uoregon.edu.\n\nhttps://localz.events/e/ohc-work-in-p
