About the Author

vn
The notion that the Civil Rights Movement in the
southern United States was a nonviolent move¬
ment remains a dominant theme of Civil Rights
memory and representation in popular culture. Yet
in dozens of southern communities, Black people
picked up arms to defend their leaders, communi¬
ties, and lives. In particular, Black people relied on
armed self-defense in communities where federal
government officials failed to safeguard activists
and supporters from the violence of racists and
segregationists, who were often supported by local
law enforcement.
In We Will Shoot Back: Armed Resistance in the
Mississippi Freedom Movement, Akinyele Omowale
Umoja argues that armed resistance was criti¬
cal to the the southern freedom struggle and the
dismantling of segregation and Black disenfran-
chisement. Armed self-defense was a major tool
of survival in allowing some Black southern com¬
munities to maintain their integrity and existence
in the face of White supremacist terror. By
1965,
armed resistance, particularly self-defense, was a
significant factor in the challenge of the descen¬
dants of enslaved Africans to overturning fear and
intimidation and developing different political
and social relationships between Black and White
Mississippians.
This riveting historical narrative relies upon oral
history,
archivai
material, and scholarly literature
to reconstruct the use of armed resistance by Black
activists and supporters in Mississippi to challenge
racist terrorism and segregation and fight for hu¬
man rights and political empowerment from the
early
1950s
through the late
1970s.
Akinyele Omowale Umoja is Associate
Professor and Chair of the Department
of African American Studies at Georgia
State University, where he teaches courses
on the history of the Civil Rights, Black
Power, and other social movements.

Akinyele Umoja s marvelously
rich and exhaustive study of
Mississippi will radically transform the debate about the role of
nonviolence within the Civil Rights Movement, proving that armed
self-defense actually saved lives, reduced terrorist attach on African
American communities, and laid the foundation for unparalleled
community solidarity. We Will Shoot Back is decidedly not a romantic
celebration of gun culture, but a sometimes sobering, sometimes
beautiful story of self-reliance and self-determination and a peoples
capacity to sustain a movement against all odds.

Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination
Ranging from Reconstruction to the Black Power period, this
thoroughly and creatively researched book effectively challenges
long-held beliefs about the Black Freedom Struggle. It should
make it abundantly clear that the violence/nonviolence dichotomy
is too simple to capture the thinking of Black Southerners about
the forms of effective resistance.
