Come visit Bristol Village for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with Zeb Larson! Larson will speak about the anti-apartheid movement as it appeared in the United States.

Activists today look back on the anti-apartheid movement as an inspiration, ranging from climate change activists to the BDS Movement. The movement had humble beginnings; how did it take off so successfully? This talk will focus on the growth of anti-apartheid activism, the different reasons Americans responded to it so strongly, and what lessons it can offer us today.

Zeb Larson is a writer, historian, and software developer in Columbus. He graduated from The Ohio State University with a PhD in History in 2019. His research focused on the anti-apartheid movement in the United States and the passage of sanctions against South Africa. He writes about 20th-century U.S. history, food history, and politics.
