Black History Month — Black Rage: Protecting Love, Power, and Revolution 

Rage is a righteous response to injustice. Black rage is a powerful source of insight into the intolerable reality of Anti-Black racism and a guiding force towards our collective liberation. This Black History Month, we honor Black rage and commit to protecting the love-fueled fury that helps us fashion the world we deserve.

Through film, oral histories, writing, and events, Black Rage: Protecting Love, Power, and Revolution will honor the righteousness of Black rage and reaffirm our commitment to protecting the space for all Black people to reject the inhumanity of human hierarchy, express love-fueled fury, and demand fundamental change.

Faces of Guantánamo: Where is the world to save us from torture? 

Where is the world to save us from torture?
Where is the world to save us from the fire and sadness?
– Adnan Farhan Abdul Latif

Twenty years after the opening of Guantánamo, Adnan's questions remain unanswered. Adnan is one of the nine men who died while in custody at the military prison, taking his own life rather than continuing to endure the brutality of indefinite detention. Thirty other men have died since being released. Since Bush's declaration of the so-called War On Terror in 2001, seven hundred and eighty Muslim men and boys have been imprisoned at Guantánamo.

Thirty-nine men remain incarcerated, separated from their families and communities, isolated from the world. Twenty-seven have never been charged. All have been subjected to torture by the U.S., including twenty-six who survived the CIA torture program. Yet numbers can never convey the human toll of this monstrous experiment in cruelty, a manifestation of the deadly ideology of white supremacy and the politics of domination and impunity.
