Black History Month 2023

Black History Month 2023: Black Resistance

 

The Association for the Study of African American Life and History

2023 Black History Theme -- Black Resistance

 

"As societal and political forces escalate to limit access to and exercise of the ballot, eliminate the teaching of Black history, and work to push us back into the 1890s, we can only rely on our capacity to resist. The enactment of HR 40, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, the Breathe Act, and the closure of the racial wealth gap is not the end. They too will require us to mobilize our resources, human and material, and fight for “freedom, justice, and equality”; “self-determination”, and/or “social transformation.”

This is a call to everyone, inside and outside the academy, to study the history of Black Americans’ responses to establish safe spaces, where Black life can be sustained, fortified, and respected." ~ ASALH website

 

In conjunction with the Woods Hole Black History Month Committee, Eight Cousins has created this list of books pertaining to Black Resistance.

This list is intended as a resource, and we appreciate that you will want to support Black-owned bookstores and businesses such as Footprints Books and Cafe.
