In her new memoir, Congresswoman Cori Bush recalls early life lessons about segregation and discrimination in St. Louis and her experience as a survivor of domestic and sexual assault. The book details Bush’s life from her childhood in north St. Louis County to the night of her primary victory in 2020 that made her Missouri’s first Black congresswoman-elect. She reflects on the book’s content, and the process of writing it, in this episode.
