Summarization
Dreamdefenders, Haymarket Books, and Verso Books are working to provide hundreds of banned books by authors such as Keeanga Yamahtta and Avi Tasale to students in Florida for Black History Month. The College Board proposes an AP class for African American studies and scholars like Robin D. G. Kelley and Derecka Purnell deem it as an attempt to diminish white power. Hammer and Hope, a new Magazine of Black Politics and Culture, is being lead by Keeanga Yamahtta and Jen Parker. They discuss the power of tenants and the importance of direct action to create social change. Keeanga Yangahtta has given lectures at UCLA Luskin and other universities about the racism and hyper-commodification of housing.
