On Jan. 9, Nigerian American journalist Rita Omokha (pronounced O-mo-cah) discussed her debut book, “Resist: How a Century of Young Black Activists Shaped America” (St. Martin’s Press/MacMillan, 2024), in a virtual conversation hosted by the Queens Public Library (QPL).


Omokha was motivated to write the book after George Floyd’s death on May 25, 2020, five days after graduating from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism with her Masters of Science (M.S.) in Journalism. She is now an adjunct professor of Journalism there.
