In an era of stark racial injustice, Aaron Dixon dedicated his life
to revolution, founding the Seattle chapter of the Black Panther
Party in 1968 at age nineteen. In My People Are Rising, he
traces the course of his own radicalization, and that of a
generation. Through his eyes, we witness the courage and commitment
of the young men and women who rose up in rebellion, risking their
lives in the name of freedom. My People are Rising is an
unforgettable tale of their triumphs and tragedies, and the enduring
legacy of Black Power.
