When We Rise: My Life in the Movement by Cleve Jones
5.0
really truly inspirational
the first half didn't have me as hooked (though it was still exciting), but then as he got more involved in the movement, i was hooked on every page. Hearing his account of the AIDs epidemic as well as his direct involvement of so many historical events, i was surprised i hadn't heard of his name before. in my eyes, he is an american hero. he is an amazing, kind, brave individual who inspires me maybe more than anyone else i've ever learned about. everyone needs to hear his story.
