Who would think of "space" as a site of resistance? And, I don't just mean physical locality, I also mean our bodies, music, cinema, or anything else. Would you think of words in the same manner? Maybe so, but for black folks, defying the odds has always represented resistance. I just heard on the radio about Ray Charles being banned from the State of Georgia for over twenty years because he refused to play in segregated venues. Yet, he initially thought, "I can't do anything about it. I'm just an entertainer." Which act of resistance resonated the most with you in this unit, and has it inspired more resistance in your current space or place? Please explain.
