When They Call You a Terrorist (Young Adult Edition): A Story of Black Lives Matter and the Power to Change the World
by asha bandele, Patrisse Khan-Cullors
challenging
hopeful
informative
sad
medium-paced
This book touched upon many different areas of the lives of Black Americans. Khan-Cullors writes about mass incarceration, police brutality, the cycle of poverty, and LGBTQ+ discrimination - all topics she has personal experiences with. As someone who is currently pursuing a degree in Community Advocacy, I really appreciated the topical essays in this memoir. What the author is best known for though is being one of the founders of the Black Lives Matter movement - arguably the biggest social movement of the present day. I read the Young Adult edition, as it was the one available through my library, and it had discussion questions at the end of every essay. When They Call You A Terrorist would be a great book club pick if you are looking for a nonfiction title that relates to modern social problems.
