Anger Is a Gift

by Mark Oshiro

"Moss's grief becomes a movement when his school starts to feel like a prison."

Six years after his father was killed by Oakland police, Moss Jeffries walks a high school with metal detectors, random searches and officers in the halls. When the violence turns on students, Moss and his friends organise. A furious, loving book about protest, first love and communities that fight for their kids.
