IN THE NAME OF GOD - GIVE THIS FAMILY JUSTICE...
SHOCKING!!!
From The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander:
A heavy and cruel hand has been laid upon us. As people, we feel ourselves to be not only deeply injured, but grossly misunderstood. Our white country-men do not know us. They are strangers to our character, ignorant of our capacity; oblivious to our history and progress, and are misinformed as to the principles and ideas that control and guide us, as a people. The great mass of American citizens estimates us as being a characterless and purposeless people; and hence we hold up our heads, if at all, against the withering influence of a nation's scorn and contempt.
---- Frederick Douglass, in a statement on behalf of delegates to the National Colored Convention held in Rohester, New York, in July 1853. [Now what has changed]
My prayers and sympathy go out to this family.
Use whatever means at your disposal to call for justice in this case. And that's my Thought Provoking Perspective!!!
