Diplomacy Classroom: Race, Citizenship, and Red Scares

NMAD’s Public Historian, Dr. Alison Mann, tells the story of Robert Robinson, a Black American who unwillingly spent 44 years in Soviet Russia. Dr. Mann also discusses how Bill Davis, a Black Foreign Service Officer, used the diplomatic skills of innovation and advocacy to assist in Robinson’s repatriation. This program is the virtual companion of NMAD’s in-person Black History Month event on February 15, 2023.

Diplomacy Classroom is a virtual event presented by the National Museum of American Diplomacy where we explore diplomacy through a historical event, person, or contemporary global issue.
