       Mississippi. 
520    "The notion that the civil rights movement in the southern
       United States was a nonviolent movement remains a dominant
       theme of civil rights memory and representation in popular
       culture. Yet in dozens of southern communities, Black 
       people picked up arms to defend their leaders, communities,
       and lives. In particular, Black people relied on armed 
       self-defense in communities where federal government 
       officials failed to safeguard activists and supporters 
       from the violence of racists and segregationists, who were
       often supported by local law enforcement. In We Will Shoot
       Back: Armed Resistance in the Mississippi Freedom Movement,
       Akinyele Omowale Umoja argues that armed resistance was 
       critical to the efficacy of the southern freedom struggle 
       and the dismantling of segregation and Black 
       disenfranchisement. Intimidation and fear were central to 
       the system of oppression in Mississippi and most of the 
       Deep South. To overcome the system of segregation, Black 
       people had to overcome fear to present a significant 
       challenge to White domination. Armed self-defense was a 
       major tool of survival in allowing some Black southern 
       communities to maintain their integrity and existence in 
       the face of White supremacist terror. By 1965, armed 
       resistance, particularly self-defense, was a significant 
       factor in the challenge of the descendants of enslaved 
       Africans to overturning fear and intimidation and 
       developing different political and social relationships 
       between Black and White Mississippians. This riveting 
       historical narrative relies upon oral history, archival 
       material, and scholarly literature to reconstruct the use 
       of armed resistance by Black activists and supporters in 
       Mississippi to challenge racist terrorism, segregation, 
       and fight for human rights and political empowerment from 
       the early 1950s through the late 1970s."--Publisher's
