Celebrating MLK: Literary Thursdays: Rita Omokha, Author of “Resist”
What do the struggles of the past teach us about the urgent challenges in our own time? Rita Omokha’s “Resist: How a Century of Young Black Activists Shaped America” chronicles the inspiring story of young Black activists who have fought tirelessly at the helm for justice over the last century, from the 1920s to the Trayvon generation—how they reshaped America, left an indelible mark on history, and paved the way for the crucial work that must be done today. As an award-winning Nigerian American journalist, Omokha draws on her own experiences as a Black immigrant living in America, offering a unique and insightful perspective on this ongoing struggle for justice.
