Counterrevolution : the crusade to roll back the gains of the Civil Rights Movement
\"In Black Reconstruction W.E.B. Du Bois wrote, \"The slave went free; stood for a brief moment in the sun; then moved back again toward slavery.\" His words echo across the decades as the civil rights revolution, marked by the passage of landmark civil rights laws in the '60s, has seen those gains steadily and systematically whittled away. As history testifies, revolution nearly always triggers its antithesis: counterrevolution. In this book Steinberg provides an analysis of this backlash, tracing the reverse flow of history that has led to the current national reckoning on race. Steinberg puts counterrevolution into historical and theoretical perspective, exploring the \"victim-blaming\" and \"colorblind\" discourses that emerged in the post-segregation era and undermined progress toward racial equality, and led to the gutting of affirmative action. This book reflects Steinberg's long career as a critical race scholar, culminating with his assessment of our current moment and the possibilities for political transformation.\"--Page 4 of cover.

Everything is fine: Converging pandemics, resistance, and sustaining wokeness in education
After years of living in a global pandemic the COVID-19 crisis impacted everyone across the globe. Moreover, we are reminded of the violence against Black, Indigenous and/or People of Colour (BIPoC) by the state in the form of the aid delivered to help alleviate the stress caused by this pandemic. Our qualitative study troubles the converging pandemics, the impact of COVID-19 on PreK-12 and higher education leadership and institutional racism, or the fight for racial justice embedded within our institutions, that began as multi-phase phenomenological design, transitioned to Photovoice, and became a testament to re/imagining educational futures through the lenses of sustainable wokeness and critical hope. For the purposes of this article, we highlight a selection of the PreK-12 leaders who chose resistance rather than business-as-usual decision- making championed by their school districts.

Seen and unseen : technology, social media, and the fight for racial justice
\"A riveting exploration of how the power of visual media over the last few years has shifted the narrative on race and reignited the push towards justice by the New York Times bestselling author of the \"worthy and necessary\" (The New York Times) Nobody, Marc Lamont Hill, and the bestselling author and acclaimed journalist Todd Brewster. With his signature \"clear and courageous\" (Cornel West) voice Marc Lamont Hill and New York Times bestselling author Todd Brewster weave some of the most pivotal recent moments in the country's racial divide--the killings of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery and the harassment of Christian Cooper--into their historical context. In doing so, they reveal the common thread between these harrowing incidents: video recordings and the immediacy of technology has irrevocably changed our conversations about race and in many instances tipped the levers of power in favor of the historically disadvantaged. Drawing on the powerful role of technology as a driver of history, identity, and racial consciousness, Seen and Unseen asks why, after so much video confirmation of police violence on people of color, it took the footage of George Floyd to trigger an overwhelming response of sympathy and outrage? In the vein of The New Jim Crow and Caste, Seen and Unseen incisively explores what connects our moment to the history of race in America but also what makes today different from the civil rights movements of the past and what it will ultimately take to push social justice forward\"-- Provided by publisher.
BOOK
Thomas Merton, the Monk of Civil Rights
Thomas Merton has been the subject of a number of books in the years since his death. His spiritual autobiography, The Seven Storey Mountain, was a best-seller at the time of its publication, and continues to be purchased and read at a steady pace. In addition, books of his meditations, poems, reflections, essays, letters, and journals have also been produced. While Merton wrote extensively on racial justice, and while these writings have been collected in certain volumes, there are few (if any) books devoted to summarizing, analysing, and applying his ideas to current racial tensions in the United States. This book reviews some of his most important experiences and writings on race and social justice, and uses Merton as a model for easing present-day tensions.

A Study of the Effectiveness of Popularized Perceptions of Religious Culture in the Context of Deep Learning on the Diffusion of Racial Justice Ideas
In the long historical evolution of humanity, religion has always demonstrated social, and cultural patterns and historical forms and has silently influenced some people’s ideological concepts and moral behaviors at all stages of development. This paper uses deep learning to investigate how the popularization of religious culture affects the dissemination of the concept of racial justice. The LBP-ORB algorithm model is constructed for the popularization method of religious culture, which is based on the improvement of the ORB algorithm, and the cognitive degree of different religious cultures can be improved by feature extraction through the LBP-ORB algorithm model. The model of this paper will be compared experimentally and then through fieldwork. The LBP-ORB algorithm model will be used to extract the features of local religious culture and popularize the local youths. Based on the analysis results, we explore the effect of the popularization of the cognition of religious culture on the spread of the concept of racial justice. After the popularization of religious culture, the college student group and middle school student group’s knowledge of the concept of racial justice increased substantially, with the number of people familiar with the college student group increasing by 88 and the number of people with general knowledge increasing by 122. The number of people in the middle school student population who were familiar with it reached 112, and the number of people with a general understanding reached 92. This paper’s LBPORB algorithm model has significantly increased the dissemination of the concept of racial justice after popularizing religious culture.
