📣 This week KU History will welcome our third annual National Hispanic Heritage Month Speaker, Dr. Sergio González, to campus! González will present, “Sanctuary in the Heartland: Histories of Immigrant Justice in the Midwest.”

For decades, Midwestern churches, neighborhoods, and local leaders have played a pivotal role in creating social movements to protect refugees and defend immigrant communities. Drawing on extensive archival research and oral histories, this lecture traces the history of sanctuary from the 1980s to the present, revealing how questions of migration, faith, and belonging have shaped the region. By examining these struggles in historical context, the talk invites audiences to reconsider the Midwest’s pivotal place in the national story of immigrant justice.

See you at the Hall Center!
