Tamika D. Mallory

This relatively short book delivers a wallop of a punch in order to ensure that the call for social justice for Black America does not fade from the frontline.

As it is the role of an activist and organizer, Mallory has not only raises the alarm but provides a primer on the why, how, and what of being proactive regarding social justice.

The format is logical and has the right bites of information without overwhelming the reader. The language is plain-spoken and speaks with a passion and urgency.

Mallory starts out with her personal experience helping to form an intimate connection with her readers, and then goes on to showcase – “How We Got Here”, “Where We are”, and “Where We Are Going”.

The key takeaways for me were:
- There is a place and a way for everyone to be involved. (Not everyone wants to be on the protest line)
- The key to being successful is a multipronged approach; Protest, Politics (going to the polls), Policy
- Effective communication and goals for Protest, Politics, Policy will ensure there is an understanding on what can be done.

This is a practical book that all will find readable and encouraging. This impactful book deserves to be a part of public and school library collections.
