The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Professor John Demos. Mr. Demos is the Samuel Knight Professor of History at Yale University where he’s taught since 1986. He is a social historian of early America who’s penned several books, including The Unredeemed Captive: A Family Story from Early America. We’ll dissect his latest book, The Heathen School: A Story of Hope and Betrayal in the Age of the Early Republic. Demos examines a 19th century missionary school in Connecticut. Whites brought in non-white students from all over the world – Hawaii, China, South America and a significant portion of Native Americans. Their aim was to indoctrinate/educate these non-whites so that they could go back to their respective territories to spread their White Jesus and White/Racist concepts. The school was financially supported and ballyhooed until… bedroom integration. White backing immediately withered when some of these non-white students attempted to marry White women. We’ll gt Mr. Demos’ thoughts on the integral aspect of missionary work in the Religion of White Supremacy.
