Black Agenda Radio · Black Arms to Hold You Up: A History of Black Resistance

In this week’s segment, we hear about a graphic novel that presents the history of Black armed resistance in the U.S. But first, we discuss the city of Chicago and how activists and communities are mobilizing against the Trump administration’s deployment of federal law enforcement and National Guard under the guise of fighting crime, but who are actually fighting what Trump calls an “enemy within.”
