About the book, per Simon & Schuster: From Tamika D. Mallory, trailblazing social justice leader, movement strategist, globally recognized civil rights activist, and cofounder of the historic Womenâs March on Washington and Until Freedomâan unflinching history of American systemic racism, a first-hand view of what makes for effective activism today, and a vision for lasting, positive change.
âThis country canât undo the gross atrocities and inner and outer scars committed against the Black, brown, indigenous, and immigrant lives that were sacrificed for the benefit of its creation, development, and rise,â said Mallory, âBut it is now clear that we, the people, who have toiled, sacrificed and contributed an indelible handprint from the soil to the soul of this nation, will no longer tolerate the continual systemic injustice, inequality, inequity, and indignities against the communities our government never bothered to correct. Weâre owed the same American Dream of this nation as those who seek the haven of it. And the time is now.â
