Review of 'When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
In 1999, Monte Cullors was arrested and charged with terrorism while experiencing an episode related to his schizoaffective and bipolar disorders. His, Patrisse Khan-Cullors, watched in horror as her brother was charged with terrorism and jailed without treatment for his mental illness. Monte was tried while having another episode. Only the fundraising efforts of Patrisse, her family, and the LA activist community hired a lawyer who could free Monte Cullors.
