NEGROES WITH GUNS<\/strong>: Rob Williams and Black Power<\/em>
\nUSA, 53 minutes, 2005,
\nWriter\/Co-Director: Sandra Dickson;
\nCo-Director: Churchill Roberts\u0003\u0003<\/p>\n

NEGROES WITH GUNS<\/strong> tells the dramatic story of the often-forgotten civil rights leader who urged African Americans to arm themselves against violent racists. In doing so, Williams not only challenged the Klan-dominated establishment of his hometown of Monroe, North Carolina, he alienated the mainstream Civil Rights Movement, which advocated peaceful resistance.<\/p>\n

Robert F. Williams was the forefather of the Black Power movement and broke dramatic new ground by internationalizing the African American struggle. Negroes with Guns is not only an electrifying look at an historically erased leader, but also provides a thought-provoking examination of Black radicalism and resistance and serves as a launching pad for the study of Black liberation philosophies. Insightful interviews with historian Clayborne Carson, biographer Timothy Tyson, Julian Bond, and a first person account by Mabel Williams, Robert’s wife, bring the story to life.
