Segregation and Inequality in Postwar New York City
How Religion Transformed Radical Thought from Black Power to Black Lives Matter
Christopher Hayes
Terrence L. Johnson
In July 1964, after a white police officer shot and killed a Black teenage boy, unrest broke out in Harlem and then Bedford-Stuyvesant. Christopher Hayes examines the causes and consequences of the uprisings, providing a vivid portrait of postwar New York, a new perspective on the civil rights era, and a timely analysis of racial inequality.
Terrence L. Johnson argues that the Black radical tradition derives its force from its unacknowledged ethical and religious dimensions. We Testify with Our Lives traces Black religion’s sustained influence from SNCC to the present, reconstructing a radical lived ethics of freedom and justice.
