Land-Grab Universities: How the Morrill Act funded land grant universities

Register here.

In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Morrill Act, which turned nearly 11 million acres of land expropriated from tribal nations into seed money for land grant universities.

This November, join NC State for a virtual keynote exploring the award-winning investigative story, “Land-grab universities.” Authors Tristan Ahtone and Robert Lee will discuss the funding of land grant universities through Indigenous land dispossession, and ways that universities are responding to their findings.

MODERATED BY DR. KWESI BROOKINS, VICE PROVOST FOR OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT AT NC STATE UNIVERSITY.
