The Blurb On The Back:
This is the story of the birth of a movement, from the award-winning journalist who reported at the heart of it. Based on over a year of on-the-ground reporting, it is an unprecedented portrait of the reality of police violence and endemic racism in America, and those trying to combat it.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Wesley Lowery is a Washington Post journalist who was arrested and later released without charge while covering the demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri following the killing of Michael Brown by a white police officer. In this excellent book, Lowery examines the origins and development of the Black Lives Matters movement against the backdrop of the tragic shootings of unarmed black men, women and children in a clear, even-handed read that fully sets out the people who helped form the movement, the offshoot demonstrations allied to it and, above all, articulates the distress of the black community and its mistrust of police officers.
THEY CAN’T KILL US ALL was released in the United Kingdom on 26th January 2017. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
