“The Long Principled Legacy of Black America’s Solidarity with the Palestinian People”
Video, transcript, and key quotes from the talk by Sam Anderson at the Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism [#ICSZ] ‘Battling the #IHRA Definition: Theory and Activism' conference in October 2023.
“This presentation traces the efforts of African American activists to support the Palestinian People from the 1920s and 30s through the present. Sam #Anderson, of the National Black Liberation Movement Unity Initiative, places this effort within the historical context of Black America’s Muslim legacy from the very beginning of chattel slavery in the Americas. Anderson also presents his personal experiences doing Palestinian solidarity work and how the Capitalist State rendered him an ‘academic pariah’.
