We Are Meant to Rise: Voices for Justice from Minneapolis to the World (2021)
by Carolyn Holbrook and David Mura
In this collection, Indigenous writers and writers of color bear witness to one of the most unsettling years in the history of the United States. Essays and poems vividly reflect and comment on the traumas we endured in 2020, beginning with the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, deepened by the blatant murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers and the uprisings that immersed Minneapoliss into the epicenter of passionate, worldwide demands for justice.
From authors with international reputations to newly emerging voices, We are Meant to Rise features people from many cultures and perspectives, including Indigenous Dakota and Anishinaabe, African American, Hmong, Somali, Afghani, Lebanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Mexican, transracial adoptees, mixed race, and LGBTQ+.
Library Availability: Multiple books and ebooks available at Hennepin County and Anoka County libraries..
