If Fists Could Speak

by Tonja K. Johnson (Editor), E.A. Noble, E.M. Lacey

From the visionary writers of Voices of Color comes a powerful anthology of flash fiction that defies erasure and reclaims the future. Eleven bold authors weave tales of Black futurism, dark fantasy, and science fiction, crafting worlds where history is rewritten, magic is reclaimed, and resistance echoes across time.

In an era where silencing is the weapon, these stories are the battle cry. We honor those who came before us while forging new paths for the voices of tomorrow.

"You can roll back policies, but you can’t erase us."
— Kendrick Lamar
