Summary:
America's reckoning with its unmet promises on race and class is at a boiling point not seen since the 1960s. Drawing on a lifetime of frontline culture-shifting advocacy, organizing, and fighting for equal justice, Mallory demands change, and shares the keys to effective activism both for those new to and long-committed to the defense of Black lives. The result is a revelatory examination of the challenges we face, of the forces we must overcome, and a blueprint for all who maintain hope for social equity and a better tomorrow -- Adapted from book jacket.
