Waiting ‘Til The Midnight Hour: A Narrative History of Black Power in America

Name: Waiting ‘Til The Midnight Hour: A Narrative History of Black Power in America
Author: Peniel E. Joseph

by Peniel E. Joseph

As racial capitalism deprives black communities of resources, assimilationists ignore or gentrify these same spaces in the name of ‘development’ and ‘integration.’ To be antiracist is not only to promote equity among racial groups, but also among their spaces, something the black power movement of the 1960s and 1970s understood well, as Joseph’s chronicle makes clear.
