(As Smith has put it: \"Rich kids get mischief, poor kids get pathologized and incarcerated.\") \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing people's own words, culled from interviews and speeches, Smith depicts Rev. Jamal Harrison Bryant, who eulogized Freddie Gray; Niya Kenny, a high school student who confronted a violent police deputy; activist Bree Newsome, who took the Confederate flag down from the South Carolina State House grounds; and many others. Their voices bear powerful witness to a great iniquity of our time--and call us to action with their accounts of resistance and hope.","brand":"Anchor Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48011976409277,"sku":"BS-TC0-564591","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9780525564591-HD.jpg?v=1786942373","url":"https:\/\/boundigo.com\/products\/notes-from-the-field","provider":"Boundigo Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
