We Refuse to Be Silent

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The contributors to this anthology include academics, artists, and journalists. Indeed, the women are accomplished. Yet their status does not protect them from traumas of losing Black male family members to violence. Among eight themed chapters, 'Special Circumstances,' as in special needs, is a reminder about misunderstood targets. Mothers stand daily watch for trouble. We Refuse to Be Silent is a code-red call for solutions.”
