No Justice, No Peace

“No Justice, No Peace was a real eye-opener… it would have a similar effect on many readers. Highly recommended.”
–BG Daily News
“These [photos], presented without captions and taken more than 50 years apart, allude to the decades-long struggle that Black people in America have waged to be seen, heard and treated with dignity. They confront the viewer with the grim reality of how little has changed since the civil rights movement laid the groundwork for challenging police brutality. But the pairings also ask what has changed and, more importantly, how we might continue to ride the momentum of the racial justice protests that have gripped the nation in recent years to create a more just, equitable and free world.”–NPR
“No Justice, No Peace offers readers an intimate perspective on the fight for justice through photos and narratives.”–Baltimore Sun
“An urgent, intense collection worth buying for the photos alone.”–Kirkus
