    About this audiobook

    In the midst of loss and death and suffering, our charge is to figure out what freedom really means—and how we take steps to get there.

    “In the United States, being poor and Black makes you more likely to get sick. Being poor, Black, and sick makes you more likely to die. Your proximity to death makes you disposable.”

    The uprising of 2020 marked a new phase in the unfolding Movement for Black Lives. The brutal killings of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor, and countless other injustices large and small, were the match that lit the spark of the largest protest movement in US history, a historic uprising against racism and the politics of disposability that the Covid-19 pandemic lays bare.

    In this urgent and incisive collection of new interviews bookended by two new essays, Marc Lamont Hill critically examines the “pre-existing conditions” that have led us to this moment of crisis and upheaval, guiding us through both the perils and possibilities, and helping us imagine an abolitionist future.

      Great q&a format for readers new to the subject matter; great nuggets for those well versed in the subject. Lamont Hill gives us lots to think about.

      This was an informative listen that was accessible I think to folks who are in various stages of learning anti-racism. The narration style was great. It only took a couple hours, but I learned a lot
