As we look back one year after the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent protests nationwide, author Elizabeth Hinton takes a historic perspective on the demonstrations in. Hinton's book charts the history of Black rebellion across the country in reaction to police violence. She asks us to reconsider our use of the term "riot," and instead position these protests as acts of rebellion against forces of systematic racism.
Joining Cincinnati Edition to discuss her book is Department of History and Department of African American Studies Associate Professor Elizabeth Hinton, Ph.D.
