    About this ebook

    Missouri, 2014. Michael Brown, a black teenager, is shot and killed by Darren Wilson, a white police officer.

    In this gripping and revelatory drama based on interviews from the aftermath of the shooting, Dael Orlandersmith journeys into the heart and soul of modern-day America – confronting the powerful forces of history, race and politics, and embodying the many faces of a community rallying for justice, and a country still yearning for change.
