Mays argues that the foundations of the US are rooted in antiblackness and settler colonialism, and that these parallel oppressions continue into the present. He explores how Black and Indigenous peoples have always\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eresisted and struggled for freedom, sometimes together, and sometimes apart. Whether to end African enslavement and Indigenous removal or eradicate capitalism and colonialism, Mays show how the fervor of Black and Indigenous peoples calls for justice have consistently sought to uproot white supremacy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMays uses a wide-array of historical activists and pop culture icons, \"sacred\" texts, and foundational texts like the \u003ci\u003eDeclaration of Independence\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDemocracy in America. \u003c\/i\u003eHe covers the civil rights movement and freedom struggles of the 1960s and 1970s, and explores current debates around the use of Native American imagery and the cultural appropriation of Black culture.
