In this powerful and timely conversation, Dr. Akinyele Umoja joins us to discuss The Memoirs of Robert and Mabel Williams: African American Freedom, Armed Resistance, and International Solidarity. Umoja, a scholar of African American history and co-editor of the memoirs, explores the legacy of Robert and Mabel Williams—radical Black freedom fighters who advocated for armed self-defense in the face of racial terror in the Jim Crow South. The conversation delves into their political activism, exile, and international solidarity work, including their time in Cuba and China, and their enduring impact on Black liberation movements in the U.S. and abroad.
