When They Call You a Terrorist: A Story of Black Lives Matter and the Power to Change the World
Written by one of the co-founders of the Black Lives Matter movement and a former features editor of Essence magazine, When They Call You a Terrorist is both a poetic memoir and a reflection on humanity. Right-wing sections of the US media labelled the BLM leaders as “terrorists” and “a threat to America”, despite the fact they are women whose life experiences have led them to seek justice for those victimised by the powerful. Authors Patrisse Khan-Cullors and Asha Bandele have written an empowering account of survival, strength, and resilience against a culture that treats innocent black lives as expendable.
