Resumen del Editor
Angela Harrelson, George Floyd’s aunt and closest relative, tells the behind-the-scenes story of George’s family - how he lived and why he died - and how the world can find a solution to racism through his death.
Angela Harrelson grew up poor, one of 13 brothers and sisters raised in a shack in the North Carolina woods. She was first in her family to go to college, first to be commissioned in the military, and first to have a career as a professional nurse. Along the way, she and her family were exposed to the harshest forms of racism - from her childhood riding the school bus with White children who made the Black kids stand, to racist commanding officers in the Air Force who told her they wanted her to fail.
Nothing stopped Angela, and nothing removed the hope in her heart that America could learn to stop hating people based on the color of their skin. This is the story of Angela’s lifelong relationship with George Floyd - whom the family called Perry - and how, after being suddenly thrust into the spotlight, she went on a quest to make sure her nephew did not die in vain.
Lift Your Voice is a memoir of faith, hope, and bravery, of what we all - Black and White - need to do to eradicate racism from our society. It’s a story of tragic loss and a worldwide uprising to ensure Perry’s death ushers society into a time where people are no longer judged, hated, or killed because of the color of their skin.
This title will be included in Audible Plus through 5/8/22.

In How We Can Win, Jones delves into the impacts of systemic racism and reveals how her formative years in Chicago gave birth to a lifelong devotion to justice. Here, in a vital expansion of her declaration, she calls for Reconstruction 2.0, a multilayered plan to reclaim economic and social restitutions - those restitutions promised with emancipation but blocked, again and again, for more than 150 years. And, most of all, Jones delivers strategies for how we can effect change as citizens and allies while nurturing ourselves in the fight against a system that is still rigged.

Historia
John Perkins, founder of Voice of Calvary ministries, was born in New Hebron, Mississippi, in 1930. His family was made up of sharecroppers, and he grew up in grinding poverty, part of a system that preserved prejudice and racism. After his brother was killed, Perkins left Mississippi for California, where he found job opportunities, racism of another kind, and faith in Jesus Christ. He returned to Mississippi to share the gospel and help his own people find equality, justice, and economic independence.

Historia
On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She was not trying to start a movement. She was simply tired of the social injustice. Yet her simple act of courage started a chain of events that forever shaped the landscape of American race relations. Now, decades after her quiet defiance inspired the modern civil rights movement, Mrs. Parks' own words tell of her courageous life, her passion for freedom and equality, and her strong faith.

Shouting "It's my constitutional right!" as police dragged her off to jail, Claudette Colvin decided she'd had enough of the Jim Crow segregation laws that had angered and puzzled her since she was a young child.

Reniqua Allen tells the stories of Black millennials searching for a better future in spite of racist policies that have closed off traditional versions of success. Many watched their parents and grandparents play by the rules, only to sink deeper and deeper into debt. They witnessed their elders fight to escape cycles of oppression for more promising prospects, largely to no avail. Today, in this post-Obama era, they face a critical turning point. Interweaving her own experience, Allen shares surprising stories of hope and ingenuity.

Shyima Hall was born in Egypt on September 29, 1989, the seventh child of desperately poor parents. When she was eight, her parents sold her into slavery. Shyima then moved two hours away to Egypt's capitol city of Cairo to live with a wealthy family and serve them eighteen hours a day, seven days a week. When she was ten, her captors moved to Orange County, California, and smuggled Shyima with them. Two years later, an anonymous call from a neighbor brought about the end of Shyima's servitude - but her journey to true freedom was far from over.

Historia
Gang- and drug-related inner-city violence, with its attendant epidemic of incarceration, is the defining crime problem in our country. In some neighborhoods in America, one out of every 200 young black men is shot to death every year, and few initiatives of government and law enforcement have made much difference. But when David Kennedy, a self-taught and then-unknown criminologist, engineered the "Boston Miracle" in the mid-1990s, he pointed the way toward what few had imagined: a solution.

My thanks to audible for making this book available
I listened to this book on audio thinking that this courageous, educated woman used her pain for good. When reading or listening to this book with an open mind we have opportunity to learn from the pass and look forward to a better future, for us all. Like the Berlin wall we must free ourselves from the confines and wounds of racism. If only we are willing to listen and learn from each other. This writer helped us to understand where her past met the present. I love to read an learn but in all my reading I have yet to find a book that helps me to understand the perspective of those who believe or can justify racism.

Definitely worth the listen (or read)!
This book is genuine, personal, and heartfelt. It takes a lot of courage to share your story, especially when it include topics that some people will find uncomfortable. Angela Harrelson's book gives us insight into George Floyd's life as well as her own and the relationship they shared. She also talks about the murder of her nephew and the changes it spurred. She discusses systematic racism in our justice system and her experience as a Black woman.
I encourage you to read this book. It is insightful, authentic, and not at all preachy as one reviewer suggested.
Thank you to Angela Harrelson for being a voice for your nephew and for equality. ❤

Must read!
So sorry that Mrs. Angela Harrelson had to write this book because of what happen to her Nephew George Perry Floyd. I’m grateful she had the strength to write this book, to share her family and life long experiences with all of us. I hope this is an eye opener for many people and as a society we want to be better and kind to each other no matter the color of our skins or economic level we are at, so much more I want to say but I will keep it short. Take the time to read/listen this book.
Thank you Mrs. Harrelson for writing this book and my condolences to you and your family.

Very Moving!
If you don't understand the Black Lives Matter movement, because all lives matter, listen to this book. The BLM movement isn't trying to say all lives don't matter. It is the response to the attitude of many white law enforcement officers who treat black lives as though they do not matter. I am white, and this book brought me to tears because of the tragedy of repetitive murders committed by law enforcement without regard for black lives.

Educational
Very good and informative reflection on the tragedy of George Floyd. As a white senior citizen, I am 100% supportive of equal rights and have been my whole life. I was so relieved that the perpetrators of Floyd's death are being held to account. So I was not pleased when the author identified "white people" as a group as the enemy over and over again. A simple addition of "some" or "many" before white people would have been a better way to make the point. Without the qualifier, I felt the author was blaming the vast majority of white people for the horrible transgressions of the minority. I really doubt that this was the authors' intent. Words matter, even small and simple ones. Aside from that, the book is a valuable recounting of the tragedy and definitely worth a serious listen.

So proud of Angela Harrelson! Excellent read.
This book was fantastic, informative, extremely interesting, and not at all preachy. Angela humanized her loved one by addressing him by the name used by family members. I loved to read about her relationship with Floyd. I intend to share this book with everyone I know. It should be required reading in the school systems. I'm so proud of her.
