Books by Barbara Ransby

The first biography of the bold, principled, and fiercely independent woman who defied convention to make her own mark on the world.

In the wake of the murder of teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012 and the exoneration of his killer, three black women activists launched a hashtag and social media platform, Black Lives Matter, which would become the rubric for a larger movement. This book offers an overview of Black Lives Matter and explores the possible future of the movement.
