How Do You See Us?

Our Lived Realities of Being Viewed as a Threat

By: Amy Nickerson M.A.

Narrated by: Amy Nickerson, M.A.

How Do You See Us? is a personal narrative written by Amy Nickerson, M.A. detailing and analyzing what she and her family have seen and experienced as it relates to issues of law enforcement.

This is not black vs. blue.

This isn’t about sides - the black side or the blue side.

This is not an attack on the overall institution of law enforcement.

Nor is this a scathing rebuke of every white law enforcement officer.

As Amy states in her book, "This is about my perspective, my innermost feelings about how I am viewed as a Black person in America, why I feel vulnerable around police officers, and how it got this way." Amy Nickerson recounts numerous encounters with police officers as well as ordinary white citizens insistent on policing black people.

A must read for all

Great book! the timing is just rite in this age and time! a must read for all young people

Very thoughtful

This book is very thoughtful and the many real life situations really makes you think. I applaud Amy for telling this story and all though no one should have to live like this. I commend her for preparing her family on how to deal with stressful situations that can become out of hand. All young people should read this book.
