Experience an enlightening evening on Tuesday, June 11 at 7 PM at Odyssey Bookshop in South Hadley, MA, as Kellie Carter Jackson introduces her latest work, "We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance." Delve into a profound reevaluation of Black resistance to white supremacy, exploring a spectrum beyond the oversimplified narratives of nonviolence versus violence.

Acknowledging the significance of all forms of resistance, including forceful actions, Carter Jackson highlights the pivotal role of tactics like work stoppages, property destruction, and armed uprisings throughout history. While violence has been crucial in the fight for liberty, the book also celebrates alternative methods such as finding joy amidst adversity and the power of silent defiance.
