Gary Clayton Anderson, professor of history at the University of Oklahoma, will present his lecture "Ethnic Cleansing and the American Indian: Can the Case be Made?" on Wednesday, Feb. 15, at 7:30 p.m. in Holland Hall 501. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Anderson has written extensively on the lives of the American Indians during frontier times. His latest book, "The Conquest of Texas: Ethnic Cleansing in the Promised Land, 1820-1875," which has been named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, is a story of the land struggles between Anglos and Indians in 19th-century Texas. Anderson earned his bachelor's degree from Concordia College, his master's from the University of South Dakota and his doctorate from the University of Toledo.
