Krátky popis
In a powerful exploration of recent racial history, the co-founder
of Black Lives Matter examines the moment we're in, how we got
here, and how together we can build movements to create a just and
equal world. Black Lives Matter began as a hashtag when Alicia
Garza wrote what she calls 'a love letter to Black people' on
Facebook. But hashtags don't build movements, she tells us.People
do. Interwoven with Garza's experience of life as a Black woman,
The Purpose of Power is the story of how she responded to the
persistent message that Black lives are of less value than white
lives by galvanizing people to create change. It's an insight into
grass roots organizing to deliver basic needs - affordable housing,
workplace protections, access to good education - to those locked
out of the economy by racism.It is an attempt not only to make
sense of where Black Lives Matter came from but also to understand
the possibilities that Black Lives Matter and movements like it
hold for our collective futures. Ultimately, it's an appeal to
hearts and minds, demanding that we think about our privileges and
prejudices and ask how we might contribute to the change we want to
see in the world.
