Abstract "Toward a Radical Epistemology of Protest "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppressed." Frederick Douglass, "West India Emancipation" speech (also known as "If There is No Struggle, There is No Progress") delivered at Canandaigua, New York, 1857. "And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met." Martin Luther King Jr., "The Other America," speech delivered at Stanford University on April 14, 1967 (my emphasis). "Get in and stay in the streets of every city, every village and hamlet of this nation until true freedom comes, until the revolution of 1776 is complete." John Lewis at the 1963 March on Washington. "Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." John Lewis' tweet from June 2018"-- Provided by publisher.
