How We Be Free: A Virtual Kickback
How We Be Free is a Black Fugitive Study Kit that honors the legacy of freedom-seeking ancestors–those who built networks of solidarity, practiced mutual aid, fought for abolition and reparations, and established self-sustaining Black communities. Their visionary blueprints for liberation continue to inspire today’s Black organizers, activists, and cultural workers who carry that legacy forward. The kit includes a deck of playing cards, dice, and an informational booklet with historical context, quotes, and reflective prompts. It is designed to support personal reflection, collective study, ancestral reverence, creative expression, cultural organizing, and more.
