One of "The Top 10 Most Anticipated History Books for Fall 2024" –Publishers Weekly
"With Resist, Rita Omokha has achieved a dual debut as an author. She has vividly captured more than a century of activism by young Black Americans, and filtered that saga through her own experience as a Nigerian immigrant being thrust into a society of ruthlessly binary racial identity. Part history, part memoir, part call to political arms, Resist is a valuable addition to our nation's protest literature." —Samuel G. Freedman, award-winning author of Into the Bright Sunshine
“This book is a crucial asset and resource for today’s society. Resist encapsulates the everlasting and unwavering fight for justice and equality led by the trailblazing activists from decades past who are still influencing young Black leaders today.” –Sunny Hostin, Emmy-winning co-host of The View and New York Times bestselling author of I Am These Truths
