‘I’d about They Can’t Kill Us All: Ferguson, Baltimore, and a New Era in America’s Racial Justice Movement recommend everyone to read this reserve because it isn’t just statistics, it’s not just the information, but it’s the connective tissues that presents the human story behind it.’ — Trevor Noah, The Daily Present

A deeply reported publication that provides alive the search for justice in the fatalities of Michael Dark brown, Tamir Grain, and Freddie Gray, offering both unequalled insight in to the actuality of police violence in the us and an intimate, moving portrait of those attempting to end it

Conducting a huge selection of interviews during the course of over twelve months reporting on the ground, Washington Post writer Wesley Lowery traveled from Ferguson, Missouri, to Cleveland, Ohio; Charleston, South Carolina; and Baltimore, Maryland; and then back again to Ferguson to uncover life in the most intensely policed, if in any other case neglected, edges of America today.

In an effort to grasp the magnitude of the repose to Michael Brown’s death and understand the scale of the problem police violence represents, Lowery speaks to Brown’s family and the groups of other victims other victims’ families as well as local activists. By posing the query, ‘What does the loss of any one existence mean to all of those other country?’ Lowery examines the cumulative aftereffect of years of racially biased policing in segregated neighborhoods with declining schools, crumbling facilities and too few jobs.

Studded with moments of joy, and tragedy, THEY CAN NOT Kill Us All provides a historically informed go through the standoff between your police and those they may be sworn to safeguard, showing that civil unrest is merely one particular tool of resistance in the broader struggle for justice. As Lowery brings vividly alive, the protests against law enforcement killings may also be about the black community’s long history on the receiving end of perceived and actual functions of injustice and discrimination. THEY CAN NOT Kill Us All grapples having a prolonged if also largely unexamined aspect of the otherwise transformative presidency of Barack Obama: the failure to provide tangible security and possibility to those Americans most looking for both.
