She transformed her personal pain into political power& giving voice to a people suffering inequality and a movement fueled by her strength and love to tell the country – and the world – that Black Lives Matter.When They Call You a Terrorist is Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele?s reflection on humanity.
