Yes, Black People Fight Nazis: Anti-Fascism in Lincoln Heights, OH

In this episode of The Dugout, we break down the recent neo-Nazi demonstration in Lincoln Heights, Ohio, and the community’s powerful response. We explore the long history of Black self-defense, the failures of law enforcement, and the ongoing threats of fascist organizing. What does this moment reveal about the reality of anti-fascist resistance, and how does the romanticization of Black struggle by non-Black leftists impact real-world organizing? Tune in for a deep dive into history, direct action, and radical community protection.------------------------------------------------EPISODE CHAPTERS00:00 INTRO00:42 What happened in Lincoln Heights, OH10:42 Black History of Lincoln Heights, OH and Black anti-fascism17:20 Romanticism of Black resistance by leftists22:06 Clips from THE BALDIES-----------------------------------------RESEARCH AND BACKGROUNDThe Baldies (documentary): 🔗 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BSDZ1DIEIQ&pp=ygULdGhlIGJhbGRpZXM%3DWCPO Local News Report on Lincoln Heights Incident – Coverage of the neo-Nazi march, community response, and police inaction. 🔗 ⁠https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/hamilton-county/lincoln-heights/neo-nazi-demonstration-leads-to-protests-in-lincoln-heights-police-weigh-in⁠Sundown, Ohio (Substack by Afro-Indigenous Archivist) – A deep dive into Lincoln Heights' history, segregation, and Black self-governance. 🔗 ⁠https://sundownohio.substack.com/⁠Police Body Cam Footage from the Lincoln Heights Protest – Footage showing law enforcement protecting neo-Nazis rather than the Black residents confronting them. ⁠ Historical Background on Lincoln Heights (WCPO) – Details on the community’s founding as the first self-governing Black town north of the Mason-Dixon line. 🔗 ⁠https://www.wcpo.com/news/insider/lincoln-heights-struggles-with-its-historic-identity-as-it-plans-for-a-redevelopment-boom⁠ Hate Club: The White Supremacist Group Behind the Demonstration – Information on Hate Club, the same group responsible for recent neo-Nazi activity in Columbus, Ohio. 🔗 ⁠https://www.splcenter.org/hate-map⁠ 2016 & 2020 Uprisings and Their Impact on Radicalization – Analysis of how past movements shaped public discourse and leftist organizing. 🔗 ⁠https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/19/black-lives-matter-protests-2020-impact⁠ History of Black Radicalism in Ohio and the Midwest – Overview of Black-led radical movements in the region. 🔗 ⁠https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/ohio/⁠ “We Go Where They Go” – A History of Anti-Fascist Tactics – A breakdown of anti-fascist organizing, direct action, and resistance strategies. 🔗 ⁠https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1295-----------------------------------------Stay connected with The Dugout!
