'This year’s Black History Month is focusing on the age-old tradition of 'Resistance' in the Black community. In the same way Black history is the world’s origin story, it is also 365/6 days of the year.' - Nayaba Arinde, Amsterdam News Editor
From the first invasion onto the African shores through and beyond the rebellions on the ships of the enslavers, and their plantations and later buildings, resistance has been seeped into the soil, waters, concrete, and bricks of this nation; indeed, the planet.
Pushing against Euro-centric revisionist history, African-centered Black people reflect on continuing to survive the African Holocaust:. This is what author and anthropologist Marimba Ani introduced in her 1994 book “Yurugu: An African-Centered Critique of European Cultural Thought and Behavior.” There, she dissected the catastrophe and devastation of 400 years of European-sponsored enslavement, colonialism, imperialism, Jim Crowism, and cultural, social, and economic oppression.
In the same vein, Black History Month is seen by many as a time for a united community to gather, reflect, re-evaluate, strategize, and harness economic and political power. In 2016, Barron presented a Black History PowerPoint presentation titled “We Fought Back!” all over Brooklyn. He announced that rebellion against invaders and kidnappers has always been in the blood and history.
Resistance and resistors have always been a part of the narrative when it has come to the Black community and the historical struggle against the European oppressor in the Americas, from the likes of Denmark Vesey, Madison Washington, Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman, to Fannie Lou Hamer, Angela Davis, Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale, Assata Shakur, M.OV.
