Bookworm #92 – Author Conversation: Kellie Carter-Jackson, “We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance”

Angela Oonk hosts this webinar series discussing history topics with guests. This month, historian Kellie Carter-Jackson joins the program to share her research that led to her book, We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance.

Jackson examines the breadth of Black responses to white oppression, beginning with the resistance of her own ancestors. Resistance through force and other vital means has played a pivotal part in securing freedom and justice for Black people since the days of the American and Haitian Revolutions.
