When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir
Description
Raised in an impoverished Los Angeles neighborhood, Patrisse Khan-Cullors recounts a life shaped by the prejudice and persecution Black people face—especially at the hands of law enforcement. Her memoir traces how personal grief and outrage over racial injustice helped ignite a movement, culminating in the founding of Black Lives Matter after the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s killer. Branded as “terrorists” for demanding accountability, Khan-Cullors explores what it means to be targeted by a system built on white privilege, and how love, survival, and collective action can turn pain into political power. Written with urgency and clarity, this is a firsthand account of human rights, resistance, and the ongoing struggle for safety, dignity, and truth.
