Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors joined “Closer Look” host Rose Scott back in 2018 for a conversation about her perspective on gauging the success of the movement.
Now, two years later, Khan-Cullors and Scott picked up where they left off.
Khan-Cullors said there are still misconceptions about the Black Lives Matter movement as a whole.
“These days, I’m still receiving death threats. I’m still receiving a significant amount of hate mail and things like that,” she said. “But, I feel protected.”
She also discussed the recent release of the young adult version of her best-selling book, “When They Call You a Terrorist, A Story of Black Lives Matter and the Power to Change the World.”
