Gerald Horne: “How We Got Trump: A View from History” at Macalester College, Minnesota

February 6, 2026, Macalester College hosted Gerald Horne as the Mahmoud El-Kati Distinguished Lectureship in American Studies in the Alexander G. Hill Ballroom at Kagin Commons, located at 1600 Grand Avenue, Saint Paul. The event featured renowned historian and author Dr. Gerald Horne, Moores Professor of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston and one of the nation’s leading scholars on race, class, and global power. Dr. Horne’s lecture, “How Trump Happened: A View from History,” offers a historically grounded analysis of the forces that shaped Donald Trump’s rise to the presidency, placing contemporary U.S. politics within a broader global context. Drawing from decades of scholarship, Horne examines how colonialism, capitalism, white supremacy, labor movements, and state power intersect across continents, revealing how these dynamics continue to influence political life today. The annual El-Kati Lecture honors Elder Mahmoud El-Kati’s legacy of elevating Black scholarship and community education in the Twin Cities. #GeraldHorne #Trump #MacalesterCollege #Minnesota
