When We Rise: My Life in the Movement by Cleve Jones

5.0

This book moved me. I laughed, I cried, I was angry and sad, but most off all, it left me feeling proud to part of a community capable of so much. I remember where I was when I heard marriage equality happened in the US, and reading about it today made me as emotional as I felt in 2015. I am so grateful for the activists who came before me; because of Harvey Milk, Cleve Jones and so many others, we have an incredible history, and going forward, an even brighter future.
