Negroes with Guns. Rob Williams and Black Power
Description
Robert F. Williams was the forefather of the Black Power movement and broke dramatic new ground by internationalizing the African-American struggle. This program takes an electrifying look at the forgotten civil rights leader who dared to advocate armed self-defense in the face of racist terrorism in the Jim Crow South. A thought-provoking examination of black radicalism and a launching pad for the study of black liberation philosophies, the film includes insightful interviews with historian Clayborne Carson, biographer Timothy Tyson, Julian Bond, and a first-person account by Mabel Williams, Robert's wife.
