Bridget Tyler asked Lisa Moore Ramée:

Was there a specific moment or incident that inspired you to write about the Black Lives Matter movement?

Lisa Moore Ramée I don't know if there was one particular incident. At one point it felt like every day that I woke up there was another reported case of a black person being killed by a police officer and it overwhelmed me. The back to back incidents of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile were probably the tipping point. And it is the trial of the officer who killed Philando Castile that inspired the trial that is taking place in AGKOT.
