The Chop House Affair and Beyond: Race and Legislation in Montana
In recognition of Black History Month, director of the Montana Historical Society’s Montana’s African American Heritage Resources Project Kate Hampton will discuss the history of several Montana laws that affected how Black residents were able to participate in society. Since the establishment of Montana Territory in 1864 through the present day, Montana has enforced laws and policies designed to address—sometimes to limit and sometimes
to protect—the rights of minority populations. State and local authorities codified and regulated discriminatory policies regarding members of the state’s Black, Native American, Chinese, and Japanese communities. Hampton’s talk will provide an overview of some of those legal and regulatory acts that affected African Americans in particular.
