Alicia Garza Instagram – I love it when my friends do cool and amazing things, and this is something I’m particularly excited about … which is my sister @joyannreid has a new book out soon called #MyrlieAndMedgar!! I got an awesome box in the mail today and I’m even more excited to dig in now!! Too often, the stories of everyday people who do extraordinary things are distorted in the annals of history. We make people who decide to do something about the things they can no longer live with something other than deeply human, with all of our flaws and contradictions and contributions re-written to serve the interests of the powerful. And then of course when a brilliant, kind, and visionary woman like Joy says I got something to say — I listen! Pre-order her book RIGHT NOW at your favorite Black bookstore.
