Yes, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. remain in that pantheon, but they stand alongside Wells, Anna Julia Cooper, Lorraine Hansberry, Angela Davis and so many others. Contemporary Black women thinkers, writers and activists such as Patrisse Cullors, Brittney Cooper, Keeanga Yamahta-Taylor, Michelle Alexander, Keisha N. Blain, Imani Perry, Tressie McMillan Cottom, Martha Jones and Roxane Gay have produced the kind of earth shattering literary and historic work that Cube — and all Americans — would benefit from reading. Collectively these works offer us dynamic, challenging and thought-provoking visions of a liberated future guided by the kind of deep humility, personal sincerity and political integrity that would never align with Donald Trump’s agenda.
