Summary Historian Elizabeth Hinton demonstrates that the nationwide protests that arose in response to the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police in 2020 had clear precursors, and any attempt to understand our current crisis requires a reckoning with the recent past. Presenting a new framework for understanding our nation's enduring strife, Hinton also issues a warning: rebellions will surely continue until an oppressive system is finally remade on the principles of justice and equality.
