Rising Up For Black Youth Justice

FEATURING DR. JENN JACKSON - Our nation and our world are overrun by billionaires and bigots, but they are few and we are many. On this series, exclusive to subscribers of Rising Up With Sonali and viewers of Free Speech TV, you’ll hear conversations with changemakers in the movements for social justice, and dig into the nuts and bolts of values, strategies, tactics, narratives, and building power. 

This week on Rising Up for Justice, my guest is Jenn M. Jackson, Editor-in-Chief of Black Youth Project and Black Life Everywhere. They are also an Assistant Professor at Syracuse University in the Department of Political Science, whose primary research is in Black Politics with a focus on racial threat and trauma, gender and sexuality, political behavior, policing, and social movements. They are a Senior Research Associate at The Campbell Public Affairs Institute at the Maxwell School at Syracuse University, as well. Jackson is the author of the book, Black Women Taught Us: An Intimate History of Black Feminism.
