Critics Review
“Robert Arnold puts a hard question to Americans: Are you content to profess your principles, or are you willing to act on them? With anger, empathy, and a fierce sense of duty, Our America demands that we take responsibility for one another—and refuse the comfort of leaving resistance to somebody else.”
—Tad Stoermer, author of A Resistance History of the United States
Robert L. Arnold
Robert L. Arnold is a writer, poet, speaker, and activist from Helena, Arkansas. His essays and speeches blend historical truth with emotional clarity to call the powerful to account and to speak to and for the people. He writes with a fierce and unapologetic voice about the American South, working-class struggle, racial justice, and the fight for democracy.
With a large and growing following on social media, where he uses the handle “defiance13,” Robert refers to himself as an accidental content creator. He’s thankful to the internet and TikTok in particular. First and foremost a writer, he often says he uses content creation as a vehicle for discovery.
