The first one hundred days of the second Donald Trump presidency saw an unprecedented campaign to dismantle institutional norms and accelerate structural transformation, evoking the spirit of the earliest days of American settler colonialism. Each executive order, policy decision and rhetorical outburst worked to normalize a vision rooted in theocracy, white nationalist fascism, and xenophobic fervor—aimed particularly at white fear of immigrants and non-white communities and the delusion of narrow, absurdist “community norms.” Yet, amid this full-spectrum assault on democratic institutions and the possibilities of social cohesion, the judiciary, select institutional actors, and a rapidly mobilizing popular resistance have begun to push back with increasing acuity, challenging the fragile aura of inevitability that such authoritarian posturing seeks to imagine.

Meanwhile, within broader Black Governance imaginaries, a different narrative is forming—one epitomized by the Cultural Meaning-Making phenomenon of the movie “Sinners.” This narrative, increasingly disabused of the notion of a cohesive US people, reframes the moment of precarity in the US Social Structure by reconciling the country’s latest crisis of confrontation with its white nativist core with deeper Africana Movement and Memory. In doing so, the reinforcement of Africana Ways of Knowing affirms a critical truth: That information alone does not empower—it is the shaping of that information through collective Movement and Memory that gives rise to communal agency and social, political and economic resistance. The convergence of systemic assault and cultural response poses a vital question: what does it mean to remember—and to move—deliberately through time and space, fueled by ancestral memory and purposeful action?
