A talk by author Joshua Clark Davis to mark the publication of his book of the same name. Joshua Clark Davis is an associate professor of U.S. history at the University of Baltimore, and his research has earned awards from the Fulbright Program, the Silvers Foundation, and the NEH Public Scholars Program.
He's joined by moderator Chenjerai Kumanyika, host of the podcast Empire City, and son of Herb Callendar, a '60s era civil rights activist who later changed his name to Makaza Kumanyika.
Joshua Clark Davis' book, Police Against the Movement, shatters one of the most pernicious myths about the 1960s: that the civil rights movement endured police violence without fighting it. Instead, activists confronted police abuses head-on, staging sit-ins at precinct stations, picketing department headquarters, and blocking traffic to protest officer misdeeds. In return, organizers found themselves the targets of overwhelming political repression in the form of police surveillance, infiltration by undercover officers, and retaliatory prosecutions aimed at derailing their movement.
The talk took place on November 6, 2025 at The Word Is Change, a radical bookstore in Brooklyn, NY.

Today, we begin with a question that refuses to die:
Why has the world ganged up on Palestine?
Why have more than sixty countries—powerful, wealthy, and self-proclaimed defenders of human rights—lined up behind Israel as it wages a campaign of annihilation against a besieged, stateless people?
This is not just war.
This is genocide.
And it is not being committed in isolation.
It is being funded, armed, and politically shielded by a global coalition of complicity.
According to UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese’s report, over 60 member states have contributed to Israel’s assault on Gaza—through weapons, surveillance tech, military aid, and diplomatic cover. These include the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, and Australia. But also Arab states like Egypt, Jordan, and the UAE, who enforce the blockade, normalize relations, and offer logistical support.
Together, they have enabled the destruction of homes, hospitals, schools, water systems, and entire families.
Together, they have tried to erase Gaza from the map.
And together, they have failed.
Because the people remain.
Holding on to every grain of sand.
Holding on to the name: Palestine.
We demand answers.
Why does the world help Zionists steal the land from its rightful inhabitants?
Why do they reward apartheid with trade deals, arms contracts, and diplomatic immunity?
Why do they silence the truth, criminalize solidarity, and punish resistance?
This is not just about Palestine.
It’s about the moral collapse of the international order.
It’s about the Genocide Convention being shredded in real time.
It’s about the cost of silence—and the price of complicity.
So today, we name the countries.
We trace the weapons.
We follow the money.
And we ask the question that history will not forgive us for ignoring:
Why did the world choose genocide over justice?
Stay with us.
This is This Week in Palestine.
And this is where the silence ends.
