How We Fight White Supremacy

**This celebration of Black resistance, from protests to art to sermons to joy, offers a blueprint for the fight for freedom and justice--and ideas for how each of us can contribute.**

Americans today are facing unprecedented attacks on our democracy, our privacy, women's rights, and civil rights. If you're Black in America, this is not new. As *Colorlines* editors Akiba Solomon and Kenrya Rankin show, African Americans subvert and resist life-threatening forces as a matter of course.

This book features essays, cartoons, and interviews with leading organizers, artists, journalists, comedians, athletes, and filmmakers on how they fight white supremacy. Contributors include Ta-Nehisi Coates, Tarana Burke, Robin DG Kelley, Harry Belafonte, Damon Young, Jamilah Lemiuex, Reverend Dr. Valerie Bridgeman, adrienne marie brown, Marc Lamont Hill, Black Lives Matter co-founders Alicia Garza and Patrisse Cullors, and many others.

Together, these contributions show how resistance work can be done through scathing, humorous pop culture writing; through traditional political organizing; by making antiracist, feminist art or movies; or through religion. And most importantly, this difficult work can also be joyous and affirming, a rewarding part of our everyday lives. This is a must-read for the newly politicized and for the next generation of leaders building a better future.
