Civil Rights Movement and arms

Posted by David Hardy · 18 July 2019 03:09 PM

I'm reading A most interesting book, Pure Fire: Self-Defense as Activism in the Civil Rights Era, released by the U of Georgia Press. One of the points made is that the plaintiff in the keystone case of Brown v. School Board had draw his revolver and shoot a segregationist in self-defense.

UPDATE: here is the book mentioned in the comment below: Negroes and the Gun: The Black Tradition of Arms, by Prof. Nick Johnson.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out.
Another excellent book is "Negroes and the Gun: The Black Tradition of Arms".
