Summary
Our Lives Matter uses the tenor of the 2014 national protests that emerged as a response to excessive police force against Black people to frame the book as following the discursive tradition of liberation theologies broadly speaking and womanist theology specifically.

The author privileges their narratives and experiences as she reviews several doctrines and dogma of the Christ
