Drs. Keeanga Yamahtta Taylor, Carl Hart and John Eric Williams are Black academics who recently spoke out against national and global White supremacy, capitalism, and homophobia, and received death threats and backlash for their comments. But, being persecuted by the media and society is only one of the repercussions Black Studies faculty experience when they speak out on social and political issues. Others include being terrorized by our own university administration, being sold out by other Black Studies faculty, and being targeted by students who don’t agree with the material taught in class.
