Conducting hundreds of interviews over the course of more than one year of 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 to Ferguson to uncover life inside the most heavily policed, if otherwise neglected, corners of America today. In an effort to grasp the magnitude of the response to Michael Brown's death and understand the scale of the problem police violence represents, Lowery speaks to Brown's family and the families of other victims as well as local activists. By posing the question "What does the loss of any one life mean to the rest of the nation?" Lowery examines the cumulative effect of decades of racially biased policing in segregated neighborhoods with failing schools, crumbling infrastructure, and too few jobs. Studded with moments of joy, and tragedy, They Can't Kill us All offers a historically informed look at the standoff between the police and those they are sworn to protect, showing that civil unrest is just one tool of resistance in the broader struggle for justice. As Lowery brings vividly to life, the protests against police killings are also about the black community's long history on the receiving end of perceived and actual acts of injustice and discrimination. They Can't Kill us All grapples with a persistent if largely unexamined aspect of the otherwise transformative presidency of Barack Obama: the failure to deliver tangible security and opportunity to those Americans most in need of both."--Dust jacket. 000763751 650_0 $$aBlack lives matter movement. 000763751 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xSocial conditions$$y21st century. 000763751 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xCivil rights. 000763751 650_0 $$aRacial profiling in law enforcement$$zUnited States. 000763751 650_0 $$aPolice shootings$$zUnited States. 000763751 650_0 $$aPolice misconduct$$zUnited States. 000763751 650_0 $$aRace discrimination$$zUnited States. 000763751 650_0 $$aRacism$$zUnited States. 000763751 85200 $$bgen$$hHV7936.R3$$iL69$$i2016 000763751 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:763751$$pGLOBAL_SET 000763751 980__ $$aBIB 000763751 980__ $$aBOOK
