The Black Tradition of Resistance to Fascism with Rev. Dr. Michael Eric Dyson

Donald Trump and his MAGA Christo-nationalists are daily attempting to push America into full-blown fascism. Yet when thinking of anti-fascism, what usually comes to mind are the grassroots resistance movements in Europe that opposed Hitler and Mussolini. In this powerful episode of The Politics of Jesus Podcast, the renowned Baptist minister and political commentator, Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, joins hosts Dr. Obery Hendricks and Rev. LaKesha Womack to discuss an alternative to Eurocentric anti-fascist ideations: “The Black Tradition of Resistance to Fascism,” and the resources that Black culture offers for the struggle against Trump’s fascist onslaught. Using the work of the literary titan, Toni Morrison, Dr. Dyson will discuss the anti-fascist strategies and traditions of black folks, the religious and cultural power and activist traditions that empowered them, and how they can be used to fight the creeping fascism plaguing America today.
