Before Harriet Tubman or Martin Luther King was identified with
Moses, African Americans identified those who challenged racial
oppression in America with Samson. In Black Samson: The Untold
Story of an American Icon, Nyasha Junior and Jeremy Schipper tell
the story of how this biblical character became an icon of African
American literature. Along the way, Schipper and Junior introduce
readers to a cast of historical characters-many of whom became
American icons themselves-including Fredrick Douglass, Ida B.
Wells, Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, Malcolm X,
Huey P. Newton and others. From stories of slave rebellions to the
Harlem Renaissance to the civil rights era and the Black Power
movement, invoking the biblical character of Samson became a
powerful way for African American intellectuals, activists, and
artists to voice strategies and opinions about race relations in
America. As this provocative book reveals, the story of Black
Samson became the story of our nation's contested racial history.
