We Still Here: Pandemic, Policing, Protest, and Possibility by Marc Lamont Hill

challenging emotional hopeful informative fast-paced

4.0

It was really informative and useful to learn about the pre-existing conditions that caused the protests in 2020, such as for profit healthcare, unemployment, and the senseless murder by police of unarmed black people. There were great tips on how to be an active ally rather than a passive one. He also talked about why it's important to call the protests a rebellion rather than a riot. One quote that stuck out to me was "Healing is an industry. Survival is a luxury." He used very accessible language and I think a lot more people should listen to this. Highly recommend.
