Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research this week at this year’s Nathan I. Huggins lectures, an annual series that features a distinguished scholar in the field of African-American history. Hahn will lecture again today on slave rebellion and tomorrow on the black nationalist Marcus Garvey...
