Judas and the Black Messiah
In the early morning of December 4, 1969, Fred Hampton, the chairman of the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther party (Bpp), was assassinated by a joint operation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (Fbi) and the Chicago Police Department while he, his girlfriend, Deborah Johnson, and other members of the Bpp were asleep in their apartment. Hampton's death was part of the Fbi Counterintelligence Program (Cointelpro) to disrupt Black nationali…
Harriet
Harriet Tubman was one of the outstanding heroines of the antebellum and Civil War eras. Her efforts on the Underground Railroad leading enslaved black men and women to freedom earned her iconic status among nineteenth-century African Americans and all those opposing slavery and advocating racial equality. She personified courage in difficult and desperate situations, which was inspired by faith and a willingness to combat injustice at all costs.…
I Am Not Your Negro
In the introduction to his 2017 book I Am Not Your Negro, Raoul Peck quotes Toni Morrison's personal testimony at James Baldwin's 1987 funeral, a literary eulogy to the central importance of Baldwin to her and other black writers: “You gave me a language to dwell in, a gift so perfect it seems my own invention” (p. xxi). A new millennial generation has discovered Baldwin, and he has reemerged on the popular scene with the premiere of Peck's docum…
Loving
One month after the 2016 opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture the venue had its first movie screening, Loving. The museum is a testament not only to African American survival of slavery and Jim Crow but also to a long-overdue recognition of the centrality of race in shaping the nation's history and culture. In many respects, much of the black experience in America was molded by the nation's commitment to white su…
The Black Panthers
The Black Panther party flashed across the nation's consciousness in the latter half of the 1960s, following the integrationist, nonviolent, and mainly southern-oriented civil rights movement. The party captured the imagination of the urban black youth and black college students and won allies in the predominantly white anti–Vietnam War movement and among Latino and Asian American activists. Police harassment and brutality against young black men…

Black Populism and the Quest for Racial Unity
Along with Reconstruction, populism often elicits a certain wonder about the road not taken. Eric Foner's study of the immediate post-Civil War era explored not only the successes but also the ultimate failure of the Civil War generation to create a biracial democracy in the South. C. Vann Woodward in his classic work on Southern history, investigated the racially democratic road taken by the early populists only to be thwarted by southern elites…
