Margaret Kimberley · Quest for “Black Faces in High Places” Deceives the People

“If we believe that” achieving “the first Black woman this, and the first Black woman that, will consolidate gains for our community, then we are deceiving ourselves” and “we might as well say, ‘I’m a capitalist,’” said longtime activist and prolific author Joy James. Dr. James, a professor of Humanities at Williams College, spoke at a webinar held by the Decolonial Feminist Collective.  She urged activists to make the link between US military occupation of Africa and militarization of the police in Black America.
