 faelzer redefines the traditional narrative of slavery in the United States
 . Dr. Pfaelzer will explore connections between genocide and human bondage\
 , labor and assault\, and discuss how enslaved individuals in California fo
 ught for their freedom over a span of 250 years. She will delve into the st

 ans who were forcibly marched across the plains from the plantation South\,
  highlighting their resistance against slavery\, their creation of a West C
 oast Underground Railroad\, and their defiance of the emerging carceral sta
 te—defiance that shapes modern demands for reparations. \n\nGazette Classif
