UPFRONTOctober 27, 2023
Citing the late poet June Jordan, political activist Angela Davis stresses the importance of Palestine for other social justice movements.
There has been a long history of solidarity between Palestinians and Black Americans, and these last few weeks have been no exception.
While Israel continues its bombardment of Gaza, numerous Black activists in the United States have come together to demonstrate their solidarity with Palestinians.
