U.S. Government's Use of Stripping Citizenship

A new publication by Amanda Frost, Ann Loeb Bronfman Distinguished Professor of Law and Government, exposes a hidden history of discrimination and xenophobia that still exists today. “When you see the Confederate flag being marched through the U.S. Capitol [on Jan. 6, 2021] in front of a picture of noted abolitionist Charles Sumner as well as John Calhoun, a noted supported of slavery – it’s a stark visual reminder that we’ve never resolved this aspect of our history.” - Professor Frost
