We show African-centered concepts used by on the ground violence prevention workers that are grounded in a Black Studies tradition and show how theorists like Steven Pinker, who have ties to Jeffrey Epstein, present racist theories on violence that impact violence prevention work. We conclude by presenting Cheikh Anta Diop’s Southern Cradle theory as an alternative place to center violence prevention work.
