Super excited to see this in print. I argue Africana philosophers must trace what the late great historian John Henrik Clarke called “continuities of African resistance from Africa to the new-world” as distinct traditions of Africana philosophy as they relate to ending slavery.

If you’re wondering if Derek Chauvin’s sentence is fair, Chauvin will be 60 years old when he’s released from prison after serving 15 years of his 22 1/2-year sentence. George Floyd was murdered by Chauvin when he was 46. Floyd can never resume his life. Chauvin can.
