Historian examines how �ֻ�ֱ�� shaped American empire

Historian Michael A. Hill, speaking at the �ֻ�ֱ��, will explore how a 1905 Supreme Court decision in an �ֻ�ֱ�� case altered America. 

In his lecture,  “A Brothel, the Census, and the Supreme Court: How �ֻ�ֱ�� Shaped American Empire,” Hill will detail how federal officials used demographic data and racial classification in Rasmussen v. United States to set �ֻ�ֱ�� on the path toward statehood while denying that same path to the Philippines.

The UAF Department of History and the �ֻ�ֱ�� Historical Society will sponsor this free event on Thursday, Oct. 22, at 5:30 p.m. in the BP Design Theater and online via Zoom. Details are available at .
