Columbia University’s Center for the Study of Social Difference is set to host a Nov. 18 reading discussion examining accusations of American genocide, colonialism, and racial oppression during the nation’s 250th anniversary.
The event, titled “We Charge Genocide at 75,” will examine historical accusations against the United States and explore political resistance through the writings of Malcolm X and other activists.
The university’s listing describes the discussion as part of its “Counter-narratives at 250” series, which challenges traditional celebrations of American independence.
Organizers say the series seeks to challenge America’s history as a “settler-colonial state” and examine experiences of marginalized communities.
The Nov. 18 discussion will focus on the Civil Rights Congress’s 1951 petition, We Charge Genocide, which accused the United States of committing genocide against black Americans.
The program will also examine Malcolm X’s Organization of Afro-American Unity, which sought to internationalize the struggle for black civil rights.
Organizers plan to discuss the 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn, also called the Battle of Greasy Grass, when Native American forces defeated U.S. troops under Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer.
The event description references Malcolm X’s call to withdraw from what it characterizes as an “Imperial settler colonial project.”
Assigned readings include William L. Patterson’s We Charge Genocide, Malcolm X’s The Last Speeches, and Nick Estes’ Our History Is the Future, which examines Indigenous resistance and the Dakota Access Pipeline.
The discussion will take place at La Casa de los Pueblos in the Bronx, New York from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Registration is required, although organizers say the event is open to everyone.
The event follows an Oct. 21 discussion titled “Open Veins of Latin America at 55,” which characterized the United States as a “decaying empire.”
That earlier program accused American immigration enforcement of conducting an “unprecedented ethnic cleansing campaign” and criticized U.S. involvement in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Both discussions belong to a four-session series examining alternative historical anniversaries during America’s semiquincentennial year.
The series explicitly challenges official commemorations of the nation’s founding, offering interpretations centered on colonialism, racial injustice, and political resistance.
The university’s event description does not specify whether the series will include speakers or readings presenting competing interpretations of American history.
It also does not disclose the amount of university funding, if any, allocated to the program.

The left is feeling their oats. Expect a lot more of this type of nonsense to come.
The only genocide of any kind happening is the democrats putting abortion clinics in black neighborhoods for Margaret Sanger’s goal of exterminating the black race, according to her own words.
I’ll assume they aren’t discussing White Genocide of Western nations
The goal is to demoralize the country branding the USA as an evil empire not worthy of protecting and defending.
Few pushed back against the False diatribe of ‘1619 Project’. The author should have been laughed out of academia.
Yes, Columbia is indoctrinating youngsters to look at America as a “great satan” much like MoFos do to their youth.
Didn’t all of this also happen in South America? How many of those making these claims are themselves descendants of “colonizers”?
I think I will pass.
These people attend and teach at Columbia because they’re IQ-deprived.
Let’s talk abt the REAL genocide - Women in America ABORT almost 500,000 HUMANS a year - THAT IS THE REAL GENOCIDE.
the lost colony on the North Carolina coast may be the first genocide, no one left to tell the tale
in southern New England there was a routine and coordinated process of wiping out settler families. This eventually led to a war commonly called the Pequot War.
I wonder if this program at Columbia includes these earliest instances of Genocide, or are they being politically selective?
