Summary

Original Air Date: January 17, 2018 Patrisse Cullors is stepping away from BLM so it’s a good time to look back at our 2018 interview diving into her incredible life that includes victories over poverty, homophobia, family incarceration, and a police force the criminalized her as a child—She dealt with all the pain, chaos and repression in her life and grew strong. She helped build and run Black Lives Matter for years, a movement that has changed the world but also led to her being surveilled and attacked by police. When we spoke she had just published her powerful memoir When They Call You A Terrorist. It’s a great, great book that tells the story of her life and the rise of Black Lives Matter. Cullors is a really special person and I’m proud to call her a friend and this interview will help provide perspective on who she is.
