Great read. Patrisse Khan-Cullors' memoir is heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time. Cullors is a compelling writer, making this book hard to put down.

Thank you, Patrisse, for sharing this story—the story of your family, friends, peers—in order to bring about change. I am changed and I want to change the country we live in, for you, for Black Lives, for all of those who have been oppressed.

This is a powerful, eye-opening, must-read about racism, homophobia, and our dangerous prison system (and so much more). Highly recommended. We can't fix our problems until we more thoroughly understand what's really happening in America.
