Book Discussion: We Refuse to Forget

Caleb Gayle’s *We Refuse to Forget: A True Story of Black Creeks, American Identity, and Power* uncovers the hidden history of Black Creeks—descendants of both African Americans and Native Americans—who were once integral members of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. Through investigative storytelling, Gayle explores how these individuals were granted tribal citizenship, only to have it stripped away through systemic racism and political maneuvering. In this virtual book discussion, we will examine the book’s themes of identity, power, and belonging, as well as the lasting impact of this erased history on race and justice in America. Join us as we discuss this compelling and vital story of resilience and recognition.
