About the event

A Discussion on Forceful Black Resistance with Dr. Kellie Carter Jackson
Join us for a powerful author talk with Kellie Carter Jackson on *We Refuse*—a bold history of Black resistance and resilience.

About this Event

Join us at Baldwin & Co. for a powerful and timely author talk with acclaimed historian Kellie Carter Jackson, as she discusses her groundbreaking new book, We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance.


Named one of the Best Books of 2024 by Smithsonian, Kirkus, Ms. Magazine, and more, We Refuse is a bold, unflinching examination of how Black people have resisted white supremacy in all its forms—nonviolent and violent, loud and quiet, visible and unseen.


In this eye-opening conversation, Carter Jackson will explore:

  • Why the binary between MLK’s nonviolence and Malcolm X’s militancy is incomplete
  • How Black women have been at the forefront of revolutionary resistance
  • Why “Black violence” is often mischaracterized while state violence is normalized
  • How everyday acts of joy, refusal, and resilience have always been forms of resistance


Whether you’re a student of history, an activist, an educator, or simply someone seeking to deepen your understanding of liberation movements, this evening will challenge assumptions, expand perspectives, and inspire action.


🔥 This is not just a talk—it’s a call to community. Come ready to listen, engage, and reflect on the legacies and possibilities of Black resistance in America and beyond.


✨ Books will be available for purchase and signing.


🎟️ Free and open to the public. Seating is limited—RSVP now to reserve your spot!
