Three women came together to form an active response to systemic racism – the Black Lives Matter movement. This movement created a platform for protest which even the president of the United States could not ignore. Co-authored by Patrisse Khan-Cullors, one of the three founders of the Black Lives Matter movement and asha bandele, the book gives readers a glimpse into Khan-Cullors’ childhood in Van Nuys, Calif., during the 1990s — bookmarked with family and friends — against a backdrop of a justice system that “criminalized a generation.
”When They Call You a Terrorist - a black lives matter memoir" refers to a petition presented to the White House, which submitted that Khan-Cullors and her fellow protestors were terrorists-an accusation, she notes, which has been made throughout history of black people seeking equal rights. In the book’s forward, veteran activist Angela Davis reflects on the significance. “The very title, When They Call You a Terrorist, asks the reader to engage critically with the rhetoric of terrorism . . . and how this rhetoric attempts to discredit anti-racist movements in the United States,” she writes. “At the same time, racist, misogynist, and transphobic eruptions of violence continue to be normalized.”
