We Still Here by Marc Lamont Hill explores the urgent realities of systemic racism, public health disparities, and the Black Lives Matter movement in the wake of the 2020 uprisings. Through incisive essays and interviews, Hill critically examines the 'pre-existing conditions' of racial injustice and the politics of disposability exposed by the pandemic, inviting readers to imagine an abolitionist future and the true meaning of freedom.

In the midst of loss and death and suffering, our charge is to figure out what freedom really means—and how we take steps to get there.

In the United States, being poor and Black makes you more likely to get sick. Being poor, Black, and sick makes you more likely to die. Your proximity to death makes you disposable.

The uprising of 2020 marked a new phase in the unfolding Movement for Black Lives. The brutal killings of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor, and countless other injustices large and small, were the match that lit the spark of the largest protest movement in US history, a historic uprising against racism and the politics of disposability that the Covid-19 pandemic lays bare.

In this urgent and incisive collection of new interviews bookended by two new essays, Marc Lamont Hill critically examines the "pre-existing conditions" that have led us to this moment of crisis and upheaval. He guides us through both the perils and possibilities, helping us imagine an abolitionist future.
