Editor’s Note:
In January 2024 the alley published a review of Unconquered Nations, a book of writings reflecting on the experiences of women protecting Little Earth during the civil unrest following the Murder of George Floyd in 2020. For those interested in reading the book, the alley has inquired with Hennepin County Library about adding it to their collection since it is not available commercially. We will keep readers up to date on its availability.
