No One Can Be At Peace Unless They Have Freedom: Essays | Poems|Thoughts | Lessons

Like many activists in our tradition, Simanga has been lovingly mentored. His history of street organizing and membership in Black organizations have placed him in the unique position of having an answer: we are fighting for our humanity, to be whole, to be who we are in concert with the rest of humanity without the necessity to yield the parts of us that others find offensive because of the narrative created to diminish us and justify our exploitation. This book is carefully and strategically wrapped throughout in well-thought out essays, poems, personal thoughts, and lessons for the reader looking for more... a critical document that demands that readers think, rethink, and continue to re-access where we are as Black individuals, families, communities, organizations, institutions, businesses, scholars, and, of course, artists... a loving reminder and refresher course for veterans of Black Struggle and an urgent call and confirmation for the newly-initiated... Read carefully, take notes, pass on to the young and not so young as quickly as possible. No One Can Be At Peace Unless They Have Freedom is a think changer" and should be in all personal and public libraries." Book jacket.
