Healing and Joy are not new conceptions in Black Struggle. These concepts are viewed as essential in the collective fight for liberation. Black cultural production in music and literature centralizes the idea of collective uplift and healing and joy as central in this enterprise. Freedom is conceptualized as not only something to be achieved but as a space of peace, joy and collective happiness. See the examples listed below and feel the joy. #BlackJoy #Liberation #Freedom #AfricanAmericanLiterature
