About this episode
Our collective learning and unlearning work about our history is the only way to one day achieve freedom for all of us. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the book Our History Has Always Been Contraband: In Defense of Black Studies, edited by Colin Kaepernick, Robin D.G. Kelley, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, which features excerpts of writings from various scholars, feminists, abolitionists, organizers, and leaders who, through their work, teach us about Black history and culture, literature, political theory, feminism, abolition, sociology, gender studies, LGBTQ history, antiracism, and more, and what we learn from this incredible book and can do to fight back against the social and political forces working to discredit Black Studies and history and to continue our learning for social justice and collective liberation.
