Call and Response: The Story of Black Lives Matter

(3) YA This in-depth examination of the BLM movement covers its roots, leaders, impact, and future. Accompanied by powerful photos by New York Times photojournalists, the compelling narrative begins with coverage of the 2020 protests following George Floyd's murder, with social and historical context woven throughout. Following two timelines focused on "Civil Rights and Black Power, 1954-1968" and "Black Lives Matter, 2012-2020," the book's second half looks at "What Is Systemic Racism," professional athletes as activists, protest songs (including two playlists: "Throwback Protest Playlist 1939 to 1993" and "Black Lives Matter Playlist 2014-2020"), protest art, "Who's Who at a Protest," youth activists, and interviews with BLM leaders. A reading list, selected bibliography, and index are appended.
