On The Other Side Of Freedom By DeRay Mckesson in paperback

 

Five years ago, DeRay Mckesson left his teaching job and relocated to Ferguson, Missouri. For the following 400 days, he immersed himself in activism, playing a crucial role in the inception of the Black Lives Matter movement. In his debut book, he draws upon his personal experiences – growing up without a mother, having a recovering father, facing a house fire and being bullied at school, negotiating with a police officer at gunpoint, and being dragged out of a police station by his ankles – to present a compelling argument for hope and the possibility of a brighter future. This is a visionary's call to take charge of our imagination and actively build the world we desire.
