Five Days: The Fiery Reckoning of an American City by Erica L. Green, Wes Moore

5.0

"Freddie Gray is dead because of a stop and arrest that lacked any probably cause whatsoever. And now they are running around in tanks arresting people without any probable cause. I really believe that all people need to push state legislators to pass legislation that pushes back on the abusive practices the judiciary has allowed and promoted over the past 30 years. I'm hoping for some good legislation across the country to come out of this moment. But I also think this is going to be a years long struggle. I hope this is the moment. I hope Ferguson was the start, and that five years from now we can celebrate a shift and a new civil rights movement in America."
