Join us on Zoom as we move our great history talks online. In this new, participatory format we will hear from Dr. Karen Roybal, professor of Southwest Studies at Colorado College, for a short lecture and discussion on the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

In 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed, ending the Mexican-American War and transferring of massive amounts of territory from Mexico to the United States, including the portion of Colorado south of the Arkansas River. Dr. Roybal will discuss events that led to the treaty, key details of the negotiations and specific articles, and the impact of the treaty today.
