The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Akinyele Omowale Umoja. A professor of African-American studies at Georgia State University, Dr. Umoja invested decades researching the history of White Supremacy in this area of the world as well as the history of black resistance. We'll discuss his 2014 publication, We Will Shoot Back: Armed Resistance and the Mississippi Freedom Movement. The book details centuries of White Terrorism targeting black people, but quickly inserts the equally long tradition of black people arming themselves and, despite overwhelming odds, striking back against Racist violence. Dr. Umoja's text is an effort to counter the narrative that black southerners were too compliant and passive to subscribe to counter-violence. Importantly, the book details how black females were just as vested in the armed protection of black people as black males. Although, Dr. Umoja's work focuses on black resistance in Mississippi, their resilience was mirrored elsewhere. This is a supremely important bit of scholarship because so many Victims of White Supremacy have been convinced into believing that black people are cowardly chumps, who've never fought back against White savagery. Racist entertainment like the 2012 film Django Unchained helps re-enforce this lie. We Will Shoot Back also demonstrates that frequently, when black people defended their lives and property, Whites got busy producing Justice and countering Racism because they did not want to see White lives lost. We'll also be sure to include commentary on the late Chokwe Lumumba. INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#
