Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Visiting Martin Luther King Jr. during the Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott, journalist William Worthy almost sat on a loaded pistol. 'Just for selfdefense,' King assured him. It was not the only weapon King kept for such a purpose; one of his advisors remembered the reverends Montgomery, Alabama, home as 'an arsenal.' Like King, many ostensibly 'nonviolent' civil rights activists embraced their constitutional right to selfprotectionyet this crucial dimension of the AfroAmerican freedom struggle has been long ignored by history. In This Nonviolent Stuffll Get You Killed, Charles E. Cobb Jr. recovers this history, describing the vital role that armed selfdefense has played in the survival and liberation of black communities. Drawing on his experiences in the civil rights movement and giving voice to its participants, Cobb lays bare the paradoxical relationship between the nonviolent civil rights struggle and the long history and importance of African Americans taking up arms to defend themselves against white supremacist violence.
