Eve L. Ewing, one of the authors whose book is being offered for free from Haymarket, had this to say about the recent censorship:
“Black people have always figured out ways to teach our history in spaces beneath, beyond, and betwixt the machinations of people like Ron DeSantis. The only thing he ever got right in his life was understanding how insurgent our stories really are, how threatening to the status quo of a nation built on theft.”
The books being offered by Haymarket:
From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor
Black Lives Matter at School by Jesse Hagopian and Denisha Jones
1919 by Eve L. Ewing
