Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Robert F. Williams emerges as a pivotal figure in the civil rights movement, advocating for "armed self-reliance" amidst the violent backdrop of the Jim Crow era. As the president of the NAACP in Monroe, North Carolina, he led armed resistance against Klan violence, setting himself apart from mainstream leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. His exile to Cuba and China, where he launched "Radio Free Dixie," further solidified his status as a controversial yet influential activist, reshaping the narrative of black resistance in America.
