Racial Conflict | California History [ep.7] (2018x8)

Air date: Feb 14, 2018

We are speaking of a very real case for genocide, horrendous Indian Wars, the Chinese Exclusion Act, and Hispanic oppression. It is not an easy subject, but is a vital part of our history. ------------------------------------------------------------ references: Kimberly Johnston-Dodds, “Early California Laws and Policies Related to California Indians,” _California Research Bureau_ (September 2002).
