Unyielding Voices: Global Resistance and the Black Radical Tradition

March 10 - June 12, 2026

9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Recurring every weekday

UCSB Library (Special Research Collections)

Explore the life’s work of Cedric J. Robinson and Elizabeth Peters Robinson, whose groundbreaking scholarship and activism reshaped conversations on race, resistance, and global justice. Through archival materials, personal writings, and rare documents, the exhibition reflects on the Black Radical Tradition as a living practice of dialogue, imagination, and transformation.

Featuring materials from the Cedric J. Robinson and Elizabeth P. Robinson Archive and other UCSB Library Special Collections, Unyielding Voices: Global Resistance and the Black Radical Tradition examines how archives preserve, reinterpret, and amplify movements for liberation while challenging institutions to confront patterns of inequity. By centering historically marginalized voices, the exhibition reimagines the archive as a site of collective memory, community engagement, and enduring resistance.

Free and open to the public during UCSB Library hours.
