The Latinx Vote & the 2020 Election
Legacies of Racism
October 26, 2020
12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
About the event: Join UIC's Latin American and Latino Studies, IRRPP, and other co-sponsors for a conversation between Geraldo L. Cadava (Associate Professor of History at Northwestern) and María de los Angeles Torres (LALS Professor at UIC) about the role that Latinxs are playing in the 2020 election and what the two major political parties have done — or have not done — to win Latinx support. Dr. Cadava is the author of the recent book The Hispanic Republican and an op-ed he wrote about this issue was published in the New York Times on October 14th.
About the series: Events in the Legacies of Racism Series deepen our understanding of the challenges and possibilities of policy efforts to address longstanding racial inequality. Legacies of Racism events build on the themes from our State of Racial Justice in Chicago reports and explore the recent and historic origins of racial and ethnic inequities and ask questions about what it means to try to repair systematic harm done to people and communities.
