I Lived to Tell the Story: A Memoir of Love, Legacy, and Resilience - Tamika D. Mallory

A powerful and heartfelt memoir of perseverance and triumph over tragedy from Tamika D. Mallory, trailblazing social justice leader and cofounder of the Women's March. In this candid and defiant memoir, a follow-up to her masterful (Marc Lamont Hill, New York Times bestselling author) response to the murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, State of Emergency , Tamika D. Mallory holds nothing back as she shares hers, the activist's life. From early days as daughter to Black civil rights activists in Harlem, New York, to a young Black woman's first battles against the physical and political violence she'd fight all her life, to the never-before-shared personal and professional crises launched by those forces intent on keeping her silent, this is a work of activism in motion and an unflinching story of America at the turn of the 21st century. Ultimately, I Lived to Tell the Story is a celebration of the profound truth that our hearts grow closest when we discover that the values we share are grounded in personal truths as well as high-minded aspiration.
