Description

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes the return of Dr. Akinyele Umoja. We spoke with him previously in the autumn of 2014 to discuss his book: We Will Shoot Back: Armed Resistance in the Mississippi Freedom Movement. Jackson is mentioned dozens of times in this text as the focus of counter violence efforts from people classified as black. We'll explore the water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi from through this historical lens. White media outlets reported on low water pressure and boil notices for the predominantly black town for a good portion of the summer. We'll examine the history of this region of Mississippi which boasts a long tradition of counter-violence - including the great Medgar Evers. We'll ask if this heavily black populated city's tradition of black resistance contributed to decades of health-compromising water problems for black residents of Jackson. #WaterTheMagnolias #BillRussell #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#
