“And if ever someone calls my child a terrorist, if they call any of the children in my life terrorists, I will hold my child, any child, close to me and I will explain that terrorism is being stalked and surveilled simply because you are alive. And terrorism is being put in solitary confinement and starved and beaten. And terrorism is not being able to feed your children despite working three jobs. And terrorism is not having a decent school or a place to play. I will tell them that what freedom looks like, what democracy looks like is the push for a realization of justice, dignity and peace.“ WHEN THEY CALL YOU A TERRORIST by Patrisse Khan Cullors & asha bandele 🖤 The Free Black Women’s Library session for April is tomorrow Sunday, 4/29 at Ancient Light Studio, 521 Halsey Street, feel free to stop by, as we discuss this pivotal powerful memoir.
