Real Gangstas of Black History: Ellen Isabel Williams, Robert F Williams and the Black Armed Guard
Listen now
Description
Ellen Isabel Williams was a radical Black griot, teacher, writer, and advocate. And unlike the peaceful civil rights leaders we often hear about, she and her grandson, Robert F. Williams, were not afraid to meet violence with violence. Wypipologist Michael Harriot recalls these Real Gangstas of Black History that don't get the same attention in public school education.  "We talk about the nonviolent civil rights movement, but we rarely talk about armed resistance."
