The Battle to Tell Black History
The right-wing attacks on Black studies have devastating consequences, but they won’t stop people from telling our history.

The eleventh issue of Hammer & Hope is now live! We are besieged by a ruling class focused on maintaining white power. They represent one tradition in the United States. But there is another, found in 250 years of resistance, rebellion, and refusal. One that continues today — because it must.
Has any book drawn more Americans leftward over the last 50 years than A People’s History of the United States? Conservatives are still saying the damage done by the book will take decades to remediate. @arh12.bsky.social interviews @edgeofsports.bsky.social about his new biography of Howard Zinn:
That’s How Change Happens
Dave Zirin on writing the life of Howard Zinn–and why his legacy points the way forward at the country’s semiquincentennial.

I read the NYT piece, and I am holding onto the words of a woman who fended off inappropriate advances from a 60-year-old Cesar Chavez at the age of 19. “It makes you rethink in history all those heroes,” Esmeralda Lopez said. “The movement — that’s the hero.”
