Saint Xavier University's (SXU) Dr. Jacqueline Battalora, professor of sociology, anthropology, and criminal justice, wrote an article in the Monday, May 2 issue of the Daily Southtown. Her article discusses the signs of the times – everything from the passing of Prince, a musical icon; to the U.S. Department of Treasury's announcement calling for female representation on U.S. currency; and finally addressing the impact of a presidency with Donald Trump at the helm.

Dr. Battalora is a former Chicago police officer and the author of the 2013 book entitled, "Birth of a White Nation: The Invention of White People and Its Relevance Today." Dr. Battalora holds a Ph.D. from Northwestern University and has engaged in anti-racist training since the mid-1990s.
