This celebration of Black resistance, from protests to art to sermons to joy, offers a blueprint for the fight for freedom and justice—and ideas for how each of us can contribute. As Colorlines editors Kenrya Rankin and Akiba Solomon show, Black Americans subvert and resist life-threatening forces as a matter of course. In these pages, leading organizers, artists, journalists, comedians, and filmmakers offer wisdom on how they fight White supremacy. It’s a must-read for anyone new to resistance work, and for the next generation of leaders building a better future.

“A brilliant, beautiful and politically urgent text…This book offers us an impressive range of academic, political and personal takes on White supremacy. More importantly, the book gives us permission to dream, think, organize and struggle for a world outside of it.” —Marc Lamont Hill, author of Nobody
