After Jacksonville, Is Antifa the Answer?

The racist murders of three Black Americans in Jacksonville renewed fears of a rising tide of violent white supremacists. At the same time, fascist movements are successfully recruiting more diverse members. On today’s episode of A Word, Jason Johnson is joined by Daryle Lamont Jenkins, an activist who has devoted his career to tracking and confronting extremists, and even to helping people escape white supremacist groups. Jenkins proudly embraces the maligned “antifa” label, and is encouraging followers to find ways every day to stand up to organized extremists, from neighborhoods to the national government. Guest: Daryle Lamont Jenkins, Executive Director of the One People’s Project Podcast production by Ahyiana Angel You can skip all the ads in A Word by joining Slate Plus.
