Passionate and courageous!

A compelling, heart wrenching, vivid, informative, eye-opening portrayal of an America that exists almost in a different dimension than the world I grew up in.

Must Read

Must Read for All Who Seek Social Justice..and Particularly For Those That Are Sitting on the Sideline

Outstanding.

Great perspective from an originator. Very informative, I would challenge anyone who thinks they know what is up, to read this immediately. A blessing.

Everyone Needs to Read This Book

This book has opened my eyes to the true meaning and urgency of Black Lives Matters’ movement. As I write this, I am thinking about the candidates running for office on promises of banning “critical race theory” and the Americans supporting them, knowingly or unknowing, are writing a blank check for the erasure of knowledge like this. stories like this. Lives like these. Knowledge of stories so deeply rooted in the complexities of American politics and history that only a racially inclusive education could furnish the reader with context to understand. I am overwhelmed with grief for the names, lives and loved ones that Black Lives Matter represents. I am overwhelmed with grief for the children who will be miseducated and either painfully discover these truths without the support of a structured education, or live their lives threatened by those who did learn it and repeat the mistakes of their parents before them, just as generation after generation in their family has done since 1776. I mourn for what is at stake, but I rejoice for the author. I rejoice for the movement. I rejoice that they have found and amplified so many unheard voices. I rejoice that Black Lives Matter, even if only to themselves.

Very worthwhile listen

If you want to learn more about life in the black community of the US, and understand the origins of the BLM movement, you will appreciate listening to Patrisse's story.

A must Listen To

This book is a must listen to to understand background on the Black Lives Matter movement. I found it eloquent and informative in a way that I just couldn’t put down.

And stand with humility and great gratitude

It is not often that even progressive minded white person with people of color in their family of choice hear the real real unvarnished truth that is white supremacy and brutal racism have produced. I am so very grateful to the authors for their courage, fortitude and honesty available in these pages. And grateful to Patrisse Khan-Cullors for her reading. Her voice paints a picture that every single white personal in the US and outside, need to hear. There is no better way to spend your time and your money than to purchase and read this book. I have been forever changed. My eyes that I didn’t realize were closed are wide open. Now what shall I do?

Important story is an understatement

Truly powerful and Patrisse paints her story and the story of those around her with passion and dignity. She doesn't create a single story for black people. She created a journey and opened up about her hopes and fears.

Required reading

Do you ever have one of those times when you finish a book and you can’t move forward with anything else? This. Is. It. Perhaps one of the most heartbreaking and gut wrenching reads I have ever read and no matter how open your eyes are to the truth, I as a cis white woman will never ever understand being ripped from my bed in the middle of the night simply because of the color of my skin. This should be required reading for all people.

A Great Read

I loved the story messages, and loved the idea of how BLACK LIVES MATTER Evolved!
