"A multifaceted, sometimes disheartening, yet consistently enriching primer on the unyielding necessity of those three words: Black Lives Matter." -Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review An empowering, powerful compendium that asserts how “Black lives matter./ Black lives have always mattered.” Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "Equal parts inspirational and gut-wrenching, this collection has a range of audiences and purposes. It can be used in class discussions, for pleasure reading, or as rallying cry for change.” –School Library Journal, Starred Review
