Historian Dan Berger shows, in Stayed on Freedom, how the Black Power movement derived much of its energy, like many radical movements, from the work of activists whose stories have never been told. Berger brings to the fore the stories of two such activists who dedicated their lives to the fight for freedom. Their commitment to each other and to social change took them on a decades-long journey that traversed first the country and then the world. Praised by both Imani Perry and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Stayed on Freedom brings us on a journey that shows how a movement can unite individuals, communities, and generations in the United States and across the world.
