Professor Mark Anthony Neal (AAAS) receives Robin Kelley in the 13th season of ”Left of Black”

Noted Historian, Prof. Robin D.G. Kelley joined Professor Neal (AAAS) to discuss political organizing in the South and the 20th anniversary edition of his book 'Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination'. The book was written based on the events that led to the exoneration of the cops that killed Amadou Diallo. However, based on the Black Lives Matter movement of 2020, Prof. Kelley revisited the book based on new revolutionary fervor of the youths and multiracial activists, charting the way forward for post- revolutionary activism. He described Freedom dream as a practice that is tied to social movement and called for putting freedom policies into action in other states like Detroit and Jacksonville.  Watch the discussion here
