We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance — Book talk and signing with Dr. Kellie Carter Jackson
Join Northeastern University’s Africana Studies department for a book talk by Dr. Kellie Carter Jackson, Associate Professor and Chair of the Africa Studies Department at Wellesley College. In We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance, Jackson explores how people throughout the diaspora have used “tactics that have shaped the Black struggle, from the restorative power in finding joy in the face of suffering to the quiet strength of simply walking away,” to resist white supremacy.
The talk will be followed by a conversation with Jackson and Dr. Regine Jean-Charles (WGSS and Culture & Social Justice), director of Africana Studies at Northeastern University. Books will be available for sale and signing, and there will be a book giveaway and food for students who attend in person.
Please register here for this free event, which will also be livestreamed.
