1) If you're an @LJMUhistory student - or indeed a student anywhere - please read and pay attention to these scholars to help understand the long history of the current moment in the US: @murchnik on the history of militarised policing and the carceral state.
2) @KeishaBlain on black nationalist women and the internationalisation of the black freedom struggle.
3) @JeanneTheoharis on US racism and civil rights beyond the south.
4) @BarbaraRansby on women's leadership in the civil rights struggle (particularly the leading role of Ella Baker).
5) @kathleen_belew on the Vietnam-era roots - and modern development of - the violent white power movement and white power ideology.
6) I am far, far from being an expert in this area (so far from it), but these are scholars whose work will help you understand. Any other suggestions are - of course - most welcome.
8) Lots of valuable resources in this thread: https://twitter.com/citeblackwomen/status/1267159016385458177
