The Little-Known Roots of ‘Black Power’


This is an version of  The Atlantic Daily, a publication that guides you thru the most important tales of the day, helps you uncover new concepts, and recommends one of the best in tradition. Sign up for it right here.

A brand new documentary, Lowndes County and the Road to Black Power, appears to be like at a pivotal chapter of the civil-rights motion that formed how we expect and speak about race in America to this present day. The movie, impressed by the work of the Atlantic senior editor Vann R. Newkirk II, comes to pick out theaters and streaming platforms on December 2. (You can watch the trailer right here.) I spoke with Vann about how the legacy of Lowndes County informs the current.

But first, listed below are three new tales from The Atlantic.
