(Post-Civ) Ward LeRoy Churchill (born October 2, 1947) is an American writer and political activist. He was a professor of ethnic studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder from 1990 to 2007. The primary focus of his work is on the historical treatment of political dissenters and Native Americans by the United States. His work features controversial and provocative claims, written in a direct – often confrontational – style.
This speech is presented with the hope that it can make people aware both of the fact that the US is a colonizing empire - beginning with its genocide of the Native Indians, and secondly that traditional opposition to colonization has been weak sauce. What is needed, according to Churchill, is a new method. I couldn't agree more.
