DESCRIPTION:Join us as we shed light on the dark history of the man who Pope Francis 
 canonized in 2015. Elias Castillo, author of A Cross of Thorns will be in 
 conversation with noted indigenous author Roxanne 
 Dunbar-Ortiz.\n\nCastillo, a former reporter for the San Jose Mercury News, 
 spent years researching life at the missions through historical documents 
 at Santa Barbara Mission Historical Archives, Mexico's National Archives in 
 Mexico City and numerous university libraries. He studied documents written 
 in Serra's hand and little-known letters and reports from Serra and other 
 Franciscans, documents from Spanish governors and military leaders, and 
 eyewitness accounts from travelers.\n\nThe truth is painful and not widely 
 understood. \n\nElias Castillo is the author of \nA Cross of Thorns: The 
 Enslavement of \nCalifornia's Indians by the Spanish Missions.\n\nRoxanne 
 Dunbar-Ortiz is the author of An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United 
 States, which won The Before Columbus Foundation’s  American Book Award 
 in 2015.\n\nPraise for the book:  \n \nA must-read for anyone interested in 
 the truth behind this nation’s founding.”—Veronica E. Velarde Tiller, 
 PhD, Jicarilla Apache author, historian, and publisher of Tiller’s Guide 
 to Indian Country\n.\n“This may well be the most important US history 
 book you will read in your \nlifetime.”—Robin D. G. Kelley, author of 
 Freedom Dreams \n\n
