DESCRIPTION:The emotional and powerful story from the co-founder of the Black Lives 
 Matter movement and how it came to be.\n\n"It is a story our nation 
 desperately needs to hear, especially right now. Our country has been at 
 war with its own people for decades...This remarkable book ... forces us to 
 face the consequence of the choices our nation made when we criminalized a 
 generation." -Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow\n\nFrom one of 
 the co-founders of Black Lives Matter, the hashtag that turned into a 
 movement and global network, Patrisse Cullors, comes a poetic memoir and 
 reflection on humanity. WHEN THEY CALL YOU A TERRORIST: A Black Lives 
 Matter Memoir co-written with award-winning author and journalist asha 
 bandele, asks us to remember that protest in the interest of the most 
 vulnerable comes from love. Leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement have 
 been called terrorists, a threat to America. But in truth, they are loving 
 women whose life experiences have led them to seek justice for those 
 victimized by the powerful. \n\nFrom an unrelenting and hostile police 
 presence, to disproportionate punitive action, to lack of basic social and 
 medical services, Cullors and bandele show how lack of personal security 
 and dignity makes daily life an act of survival. \n\nPATRISSE CULLORS is an 
 artist, organizer, and freedom fighter from Los Angeles, CA. Co-founder of 
 Black Lives Matter, she is also a performance artist, Fulbright scholar, 
 public speaker, and an NAACP History Maker. \n\n"Patrisse Cullors is a 
 leading visionary and activist, feminist, civil rights leader who has 
 literally changed the trajectory of politics and resistance in America."
