The salt march stands as a study in strategic moral exposure, an act that transformed visible injustice into undeniable truth. By forcing the world to witness violence against dignity, it fractured the legitimacy of empire. History proves that when oppression is on full display, change occurs.

It’s worth noting that algorithms are idiots. A review that says “I liked it” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ has just as much impact as a well crafted 500 word analysis.

If you received a free copy or have read For Love of the Broken Body, could you please add an online review to Amazon or Goodreads?

In this era of algorithms, online reviews and purchases REALLY help others find books. The more 5 star reviews the better!

I deeply appreciate your help. THANK YOU!

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.
