In the City, Trey meets up with a cast of characters that change his life forever--from civil rights leader Bayard Rustin, who he meets in a Harlem bathhouse, to his landlord, Fred Trump, who he clashes with and outfoxes. He volunteers at a renegade home hospice for AIDS patients, and after being put to the test by gay rights activist Larry Kramer and civil rights leader Dorothy Cotton, becomes a founding member of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP). Along the way Trey attempts to navigate past traumas and searches for ways to maintain familial relationships--all while seeking the meaning of life in the midst of so much death. Vibrant, humorous, and fraught with entanglements, Rasheed Newson's My Government Means to Kill Me is an exhilarating, fast-paced, coming-of-age story that lends itself to a larger discussion about what it means for a young, gay, Black man in the mid-1980s to come to terms with his role in the midst of a political and social reckoning"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Newson Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Fiction Newson Checked out 05/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Newson Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Newson Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Newson Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
