Considering the development and ongoing influence of Black thought
From 1900 to the present, people of African descent living in the
United States have drawn on homegrown and diasporic minds to create
a Black intellectual tradition engaged with ideas on race, racial
oppression, and the world. This volume presents essays on the
diverse thought behind the fight for racial justice as developed by
African American artists and intellectuals; performers and protest
activists; institutions and organizations; and educators and
religious leaders. By including both women’s and men’s
perspectives from the U.S. and the Diaspora, the essays explore the
full landscape of the Black intellectual tradition. Throughout,
contributors engage with important ideas ranging from the
consideration of gender within the tradition, to intellectual
products generated outside the intelligentsia, to the ongoing
relationship between thought and concrete effort in the quest for
liberation. Expansive in scope and interdisciplinary in practice,
The Black Intellectual Tradition delves into the ideas that
animated a people’s striving for full participation in American
life. Contributors: Derrick P. Alridge, Keisha N. Blain, Cornelius
L. Bynum, Jeffrey Lamar Coleman, Pero Gaglo Dagbovie, Stephanie Y.
Evans, Aaron David Gresson III, Claudrena N. Harold, Leonard
Harris, Maurice J. Hobson, La TaSha B. Levy, Layli Maparyan,
Zebulon V. Miletsky, R. Baxter Miller, Edward Onaci, Venetria K.

Poetry is an ideal artistic medium for expressing the fear, sorrow,
and triumph of revolutionary times. Words of Protest, Words of
Freedom is the first comprehensive collection of poems written
during and in response to the American civil rights struggle of
1955-75. Featuring some of the most celebrated writers of the
twentieth century-including Maya Angelou, Amiri Baraka, Gwendolyn
Brooks, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Lowell, and Derek Walcott-alongside
lesser-known poets, activists, and ordinary citizens, this
anthology presents a varied and vibrant set of voices, highlighting
the tremendous symbolic reach of the civil rights movement within
and beyond the United States.Some of the poems address crucial
movement-related events-such as the integration of the Little Rock
schools, the murders of Emmett Till and Medgar Evers, the emergence
of the Black Panther party, and the race riots of the late
1960s-and key figures, including Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X,
and John and Robert Kennedy. Other poems speak more broadly to the
social and political climate of the times. Along with Jeffrey Lamar
Coleman's headnotes, the poems recall the heartbreaking and
jubilant moments of a tumultuous era. Altogether, more than 150
poems by approximately 100 poets showcase the breadth of the genre
of civil rights poetry. Selected contributors. Maya Angelou, W. H.
Auden, Amiri Baraka, Gwendolyn Brooks, Lucille Clifton Lawrence
Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, Langston Hughes, June Jordan, Philip
Levine, Audre Lorde, Robert Lowell, Pauli Murray, Huey P. Newton,
Adrienne Rich, Sonia Sanchez, Leopold Sedar Senghor, Derek Walcott,
Alice Walker, Yevgeny Yevtushenko
