About Shaun King
recently hailed by time magazine as one of the 25 most influential people in the world on the internet….
Shaun King is one of the most followed and shared activists and journalists on the planet. A fearless force of nature for social justice and systemic change, Shaun has authored an astounding 1,500 articles on topics ranging from police brutality and mass incarceration to white supremacy and voter suppression. His social good campaigns have raised nearly $40 million for families in need and his dogged pursuit of violent white supremacists in Charlottesville helped identify, track down, and bring to justice more bigots than the work of the FBI and State Police combined. The former Senior Justice Writer for the New York Daily News, Social Justice Writer for The Intercept, and Writer-in-Residence at Harvard Law School, Shaun is now the Editor in Chief of The North Star and the voice of social justice on the legendary Tom Joyner Morning Show. He is also the host of the The Breakdown - the popular daily news podcast which not only unpacks and explains the problems of the world, but gives listeners clear actions steps on what to do about them.
About the Book
Activist and journalist Shaun King reflects on the events that made him one of the most prominent social justice leaders of our time and lays out a clear action plan for you to join the fight.
As a leader of the Black Lives Matter movement, Shaun King has become one of the most recognizable and powerful voices on the front lines of civil rights in our time. His commitment to reforming the justice system and making America a more equitable place has brought challenges and triumphs, soaring victories and crushing defeats.

By turns infuriating, inspiring, and educational, Make Change will resonate with those who believe that America can—and must—do better.
