 one of our top historians, "America on Fire: The Untold History of Police 
 Violence and Black Rebellion Since the 1960s" is a groundbreaking story of 
 policing and “riots” that shatters our understanding of the 
 post–civil rights era.\n\nWhat began in spring 2020 as local protests in 
 response to the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police quickly 
 exploded into a massive nationwide movement. Millions of mostly young 
 people defiantly flooded into the nation’s streets, demanding an end to 
 police brutality and to the broader, systemic repression of Black people 
 and other people of color. To many observers, the protests appeared to be 
 without precedent in their scale and persistence. \n\nYet, as the acclaimed 
 historian Elizabeth Hinton demonstrates in "America on Fire", the events of 
 2020 had clear precursors—and any attempt to understand our current 
 crisis requires a reckoning with the recent past.\n\n\nABOUT: Elizabeth 
 Hinton, author\n\nElizabeth Hinton is associate professor of history and 
 African American studies at Yale University and a professor of law at Yale 
 Law School; she's the author of "America on Fire"\n and "From the War on 
 Poverty to the War on Crime".\n\nABOUT: Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor,

 social movements, and racial inequality in the United States. She is author
