This is Tim Wise with 6 1/2 minutes of one of the greatest history lessons I ever learned.
Back in 2014 when Eric Garner was murdered I went out on the streets with some friends to show support. Then the next year Sandra Bland made headlines and I started paying attention. Tim's speeches really opened up my eyes to the history of this country, and how we are still operating to this day.
This is Aaliyah Gonzalez. She turned 18 years old on April 12th. She deserved better. She deserved to live. She deserved to grow old. A coward took her life. Now the world will never know all the great things she would’ve accomplished. Pray for her family and pray for our city 🙏🏾
