We Refuse to Forget

"We Refuse to Forget" by Caleb Gayle uncovers the complex history of the Creek Nation, a Native tribe that historically recognized Black citizens and owned slaves two centuries ago. The book explores the rise and fall of Black Creek citizenship, delving into the roles of leadership, U.S. government involvement, and ongoing efforts of Black Creeks to reclaim their rights. Through interviews and historical analysis, it challenges perceptions of identity and highlights the persistent impact of racism and marginalization on Black Americans.
