For one of the book clubs I’m in called the Bookish Ladies Zoom Book Club, we decided to read a powerful book called We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance by Kellie Carter Jackson for January 2026. We started the year off strong with a narrative on the history of Black women and the role we’ve played in the fight to resist white supremacy and fight for social justice. This book definitely left me with a feeling of empowerment.
I highly recommend this book, especially for anyone trying to navigate the political landscape today, even for those who despise or denounce the accurate telling of American History, the whole story. This book, will help you survive the current climate, knowing and learning about how others survived and made a way, and hopefully help you come up with a way to become active whether it's safely and rightfully in the streets, whether it's through speaking or writing, or whether it's through becoming active in politics or just making change in your community, your church, or your college or school. Because they refused, we will persevere.
