Mascots, Myths, Monuments, and Memory 04 — Ray Halbritter
Description:
Ray Halbritter (Oneida), Oneida Indian Nation Representative and CEO of Oneida Nation Enterprises, continues the discussion of Contested Symbols in Sports and American Culture. The symposium Mascots, Myths, Monuments, and Memory examines the history of racialized mascots, Civil War monuments, and other public symbols and memorials. Ray Halbritter has led the Oneida people to an economic and cultural renaissance, including achieving federal government recognition of the nation’s traditional form of government, creating numerous health and social programs, constructing new housing, and establishing education and culture programs. Additionally, Halbritter leads Change the Mascot, a grassroots campaign to educate the public about the damaging effects on Native Americans caused by use of a racial slur as the name of Washington’s professional football team. This program was webcast and recorded in the Oprah Winfrey Theater or the National Museum of African American History and Culture on March 3, 2018.
