When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir

This book is a powerful memoir about what it means to be a Black woman in America, and the co-founding of a movement that demands justice for all in the land of the free.

Patrisse Khan-Cullors shares her personal story of growing up in an impoverished neighborhood in Los Angeles, and how she was raised by a single mother who instilled in her the importance of standing up against injustice.

The author recounts the trauma and pain inflicted upon Black people at the hands of law enforcement, and how she co-founded Black Lives Matter with Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin's killer.

Through her story, Patrisse shows that even in the face of violent racism, love and resistance can be a powerful force for change.

This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the systemic injustices faced by Black people in America, and how to work towards a more equitable society.
