In this powerful historical livestream from The Erudition Network, Public Historian and CEO Eddie K. Phillips leads a deep, evidence-based exploration into the chilling parallels between race laws in Nazi Germany and those implemented in the United States under segregationist policies. Drawing from archival sources, legal records, and real-time audience engagement, this episode shows how America’s racial caste system helped shape one of history’s most oppressive regimes.
Eddie guides listeners through how legal identity, classification, and state power were weaponized across continents to control race, justify exclusion, and engineer societies built on inequality. This is more than a history lesson—it’s a powerful tool for understanding the roots of systemic racism and how its legacy continues to shape modern institutions.
💡 Core Topics Covered:
- U.S. Jim Crow laws as a blueprint for Nazi legal frameworks
- How identity and classification were enforced by law
- Cross-continental influence between American segregationists and German officials
- Lasting legal remnants of race laws in modern policy
- Interactive Q&A with Black historians, educators, and the live audience
