Description
Broadly speaking, the traditionally conceptualized mid-twentieth century Civil Rights Movement and the newer #BlackLivesMatter Movement possess some similar qualities.
They both represent dynamic, complex moments of possibility and progress.
They also share mass-based movement activities, policy/legislative advocacy, grass-roots organizing, and targeted media campaigns.
Innovation, growth, and dissension—core aspects of movement work—mark them both.
Crucially, these moments also engender aggressive, repressive, multi-level responses to these assertions of Black Humanity. Rights and Lives critically engages the dynamic relationship between these two moments of liberatory possibility on the Black Freedom Struggle timeline.
McKinney and Hamlin invite the contributors to take up what we can learn when we place these moments of struggle in dialogue with each other.
They grapple with how our understanding of the postwar moment shapes our analysis of #BLM and wherein lie the discontinuities, in order to glean lessons for future moments of insurgency.
