This is a very thoughtful and touching memoir. It may give you insight into the "Black Lives Matter" movement but more importantly it may humanize your view of people that struggle with mental illness and how we need to create a better…

I did not love the writing style of this book or the way in which the story was told but I do think reading this book is important to hear the foundations of BLM and how the organization started. The passion and drive comes from a very…

Most of what I have been reading this past year has been about race and injustice. For this normally a YA/Harry Potter fan, the long term nonfiction and heavy content has been challenging, for many reasons. I just finished this book. It is…

Such an important book for those of us who are privileged enough to live our lives relatively free of institutional abuse and systematic oppression. Khan-Cullors writes so passionately and deeply about her pain, her struggles and loss, her…

The writer's analysis of the systematic and institutional racism in this country is spot on. Those in power complain that the poor aren't doing anything to help themselves but obstacles are constantly placed in their path to move forward.…

This is such a powerful and heart wrenching book. Everyone needs to read this one. And we, as a society, need to do better.

The co-founder of Black Lives Matter tells the story of her life, the beginnings of the BLM movement, its mission, and the deep racial divides in the country. A good read for anyone looking for a more clear picture than what we're often…
