Decolonizing American Empire: What Lies Beyond the 50 States?
Fueled by a hunger for global power, financial greed, and racism, the United States has always been an imperial power. While the Constitution outlines the rights of the fifty states, how do the four million American citizens living in U.S. territories, without federal representation and overseen by the federal government, fit into the American puzzle? This presentation highlights the political and cultural reverberations of American empire, and what the future holds for four million Forgotten Americans.
