The historiography of the southern Civil Rights Movement has long focused on the tactic of non-violence. With only a few notable exceptions, most scholarship locates the use of armed self-defense and other forms of armed resistance in northern cities while temporally, we usually think of these strategies as rising to prominence only later in the movement. Akinyele Omowale Umoja, Professor and Chair of the Department of African-American Studies at Georgia State University, tells us this common narrative omits a long and rich history of armed resistance in the southern Black Freedom Struggle. His new book, We Will Shoot Back: Armed Resistance in the Mississippi Freedom Movement (New York University Press, 2013), traces the roots of this armed resistance in Mississippi. His book shows black Mississippians had a long tradition of armed self-defense extending well before the iconic Civil Rights campaigns in the state. Moreover, when the movement came, self-defense remained. The book shows armed self-defense co-existed with non-violence–sometimes cooperatively, sometimes uneasily, and often both–throughout the period usually strongly associated with non-violence, such as during Freedom Summer. We Will Shoot Back goes on to examine the growing prominence of armed resistance in the mid to late 1960s. He shows the many different forms armed resistance took. Some of those forms were advocated by small groups or were short-lived, while others were quite successful. In this episode of the podcast, Umoja discusses how he came to study this topic and his research process, including many oral histories. He also explains the importance of broadening our understanding of Civil Rights activism to include this longer history of armed resistance. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Akinyele Omowale Umoja. A professor of African-American studies at Georgia State University, Dr. Umoja invested decades researching the history of White Supremacy in this area of the world as well as the history of black resistance. We'll discuss his 2014 publication, We Will Shoot Back: Armed Resistance and the Mississippi Freedom Movement. The book details centuries of White Terrorism targeting black people, but quickly inserts the equally long tradition of black people arming themselves and, despite overwhelming odds, striking back against Racist violence. Dr. Umoja's text is an effort to counter the narrative that black southerners were too compliant and passive to subscribe to counter-violence. Importantly, the book details how black females were just as vested in the armed protection of black people as black males. Although, Dr. Umoja's work focuses on black resistance in Mississippi, their resilience was mirrored elsewhere. This is a supremely important bit of scholarship because so many Victims of White Supremacy have been convinced into believing that black people are cowardly chumps, who've never fought back against White savagery. Racist entertainment like the 2012 film Django Unchained helps re-enforce this lie. We Will Shoot Back also demonstrates that frequently, when black people defended their lives and property, Whites got busy producing Justice and countering Racism because they did not want to see White lives lost. We'll also be sure to include commentary on the late Chokwe Lumumba. INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#
