A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
"A captivating memoir of change. A hope-filled sermon for change. A
tactical blueprint for how we can each make change. Make Change is all
three and all the more towards an equitable and just world."
--Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award-winning author of Stamped from
the Beginning and How to Be an Antiracist
Activist and journalist Shaun King reflects on the events that made
him one of the most prominent social justice leaders of our time and
lays out a clear action plan for you to join the fight.
As a leader of the Black Lives Matter movement, Shaun King has become
one of the most recognizable and powerful voices on the front lines of
civil rights in our time. His commitment to reforming the justice system
and making America a more equitable place has brought challenges and
triumphs, soaring victories and crushing defeats. Throughout his
wide-ranging activism, King's commentary remains rooted in both
exhaustive research and abundant passion.
In Make Change, King offers an inspiring look at the moments that have
shaped his life and considers the ways social movements can grow and
evolve in this hyper-connected era. He shares stories from his efforts
leading the Raise the Age campaign and his work fighting police
brutality, while providing a roadmap for how to stay sane, safe, and
motivated even in the worst of political climates. By turns infuriating,
inspiring, and educational, Make Change will resonate with those who
believe that America can--and must--do better.
