“Black Dignity is a textured and moving account of how social movements give new life to our deepest commitments and our highest aspirations.”—Corey D. B. Walker, Wake Forest Professor of the Humanities, Wake Forest University“Black Dignity is a defining treatise for our contemporary moment. Vincent Lloyd explains how the Black Lives Matter movement builds on and corrects historic Black Radical traditions. A must study for students of Black freedom struggle.”—Akinyele Omowale Umoja, coeditor of Black Power Encyclopedia“Lloyd powerfully joins a growing and urgent literature on the relationship among civic ideals, political and social morality, racial identity, and the emotions. I suspect Black Dignity will quickly become a fixture in conversations concerning visions of America against the backdrop of racial violence and inequity.”—Christopher J. Lebron, author of The Making of Black Lives Matter: A Brief History of An Idea
