When They Call You A Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir

Following the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, three women - Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi, and Patrisse Khan-Cullors - came together to form an active response to the systemic racism causing the deaths of so many African-Americans. They simply said: Black Lives Matter; and for that, they were labelled terrorists.

Patrisse is a survivor. She transformed her personal pain into political power, giving voice to a people suffering in equality and a movement fuelled by her strength and love to tell the country—and the world—that Black Lives Matter.
