Take a break from the bizarre and depressing spectacle of Donald Trump presiding over celebrations of the U.S. state’s 250th birthday to join Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor and Brian Jones for a conversation about the inspiring history and extraordinary capacity of ordinary people to resist and organize for a better world.

Brian Jones is an educator and author. He served as the inaugural director of the Center for Educators and Schools at the New York Public Library and was the associate director of education at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Brian is a founding board member and contributing artist to the organization, Voices of a People’s History and the author of two books, The Tuskegee Student Uprising: A History, and Black History Is for Everyone.

Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor is Hughes-Rogers Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University and the co-founder of Hammer & Hope. Her latest book is the expanded and updated edition of How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective, featuring a new introduction by Taylor and a powerful new interview with Angela Y. Davis.
