Book Discussion: We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance
Northeastern Law’s Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project (CRRJ) welcomes Professor Kellie Carter Jackson, chair of Africana Studies at Wellesley College, for a discussion of her upcoming book, We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance, to be published this summer.
A radical reframing of Black resistance — both nonviolent and violent — to white supremacy, in We Refuse, Carter Jackson offers an unflinching examination of the breadth of Black responses to white oppression, particularly those pioneered by Black women. Professor Margaret Burnham, director of CRRJ and faculty co-director of the Center for Law, Equity and Race, will moderate the discussion.
WHEN: February 22, 12-1:30 pm EST
