Forum on Neo-Confederate View of Slavery Planned for UI

A public forum entitled "Examining the Neo-Confederate View of Slavery" 
will be held Saturday, February 7, at 4 pm at the University of Idaho 
Commons, Horizon/Aurora room.  The forum will be a rebuttal and 
examination of the Neo-Confederate views of Moscow's Christ Church 
pastor Douglas Wilson and Louisiana minister Steve Wilkins, co-authors 
of the locally-published book, "Southern Slavery: As It Was." 

This public discussion is sponsored by Moscow Civic Association and The 
University of Idaho Office of Multicultural Affairs, in honor of Dr. 
Martin Luther King, Jr. and Black History Month. 

The members of the panel will include University of Idaho historians 
Sean M. Quinlan and William L. Ramsey; Washington State University 
professor E. Lincoln James, the editor of the Western Journal of Black 
Studies; and Stan Thomas, former director of the Campus Christian Center 
and UI adjunct faculty in religious studies.

Quinlan and Ramsey will discuss the historical accuracy of the 
Neo-Confederate view of slavery.  James will focus on the 
African-American perspective on the Neo-Confederate pro-slavery 
position.  Thomas will discuss the view expressed by Wilson and Wilkins 
that slavery is supported and encouraged by the Bible.

The forum is free and the public is encouraged to attend.
