When they call you a terrorist

The title directly references the FBI's designation of Black Lives Matter as a domestic terrorist threat, which Khan-Cullors addresses by reclaiming the term and reframing the narrative around her activism and the movement's goals.

This book offers a deeply personal account of the experiences that led Patrisse Khan-Cullors to co-found Black Lives Matter, providing an insider's perspective on the movement's origins and the motivations behind its fight for racial justice.

The memoir details the systemic oppression and state surveillance Khan-Cullors and her community faced, illustrating the legal and political obstacles inherent in advocating for Black liberation and police accountability.
