- Patrisse Khan-Cullors
One of the founders of Black Lives Matter Patrisse Khan-Cullors, introduces her memoir When They Call You a Terrorist, which recounts how she became a founder of the BLM movement.
From accounts of the brutal treatment of friends and family by the state to the severe socio-economic disadvantages handed to those born in black majority communities like those she grew up in; dismaying personal experiences of racial and LGBT stigma to her first community campaigns as an activist, she builds an understanding of the cultural drivers of the issues of inequality, diversity, oppression and racism and why they need to be actively addressed from the ground up.
