Black self-defense during red summer of 1919 and today
The podcast discusses incidents of black self-defense during the Red Summer of 1919, including the story of Carrie Johnson who shot at men breaking into her home, and draws a parallel to cases of police officers who have been associated with the KKK and other racist groups in recent times. While black self-defense is often overwhelmed by the resources of white people and support from the state, it has also proved effective at times.
