Still Seeking Freedom: Birthright Citizenship Of Blacks & Children Of Immigrants Targeted By Repubs
Before the Civil War, colonizers and black laws threatened to deport former slaves born in the United States.
African American activists argued that citizenship was their birthright.
Former slaves studied law, secured allies, and conducted themselves like citizens, establishing their status through local, everyday claims.
As part of our continuing series, Still Seeking Freedom, we’re talking with Martha Jones, Society of Black Alumni Presidential Professor and Professor of History at Johns Hopkins University about birthright citizenship and the threats posed to it.
