Making a Refuge of Resistance: A History of the U.S. Sanctuary Movement
Presented by Lloyd Barba, PhD
Assistant Professor of Religion and Core Faculty in Latinx and Latin American Studies at Amherst College
In his presentation, Lloyd Barba will ask: Why have houses of worship long protected migrants from immigration enforcement authorities? Barba’s views are based on his ongoing book projects on the Sanctuary Movement from the 1980s to the present day.
