“Bright hope” – When they call you a terrorist by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele

"When they call you a terrorist is more than manifesto. It's the story of Khan-Cullors herself, the story of her parents, the story of her brother. It's extraordinary, in many ways. Even if Khan-Cullors had not gone to to co-create Black Lives Matter, the fact that she managed to make a life for herself in the wake of ongoing racial abuse, in the wake of her father's imprisonment, in the wake of her brother's issues with mental health and torture at the hands of the police - it would be enough to bring a person down, to make a person feel beaten before they even began. But Khan-Cullors has the seeming heart of a lion."
