How Everyday People are Fighting Oppression

FEATURING IJEOMA OLUO - If you read mainstream news sources, the dire state of the world is usually on full display. Less covered are the ways in which people are fighting back against oppression and injustice in their communities.

But, Ijeoma Oluo, writer, speaker, and best-selling author of So You Want to Talk About Race, has an abundance of such stories in her new book, Be a Revolution: How Everyday People are Fighting Oppression and Changing the World - and How You Can, Too.

Oluo’s work on race has been featured in The Guardian, The New York Times and The Washington Post, among many other publications. She was named to the 2021 TIME 100 Next list and has twice been named to the Root 100. She received the 2018 Feminist Humanist Award and the 2020 Harvard Humanist of the Year Award from the American Humanist Association.
