“I am here to change history. I am ready to do what I need to do for this next generation. It’s time for me to do God’s work.” - Sandra Bland
This brilliant outspoken powerful emphatic kind Black woman did NOT kill herself and I’ll believe that always
Brian Encinia slapped Sandra in the face and forcibly removed her from her own vehicle because he didn’t like that she knew her rights. All he had to do was write her a ticket and instead he escalated the situation to feel like a big man in a position of power
Sandra Bland repeatedly said she couldn’t wait for her day in court against officer Encinia. Her family was arranging her bond so she could be released. She was starting a new job that following Monday. She was an activist and she was murdered. I’ll never stop fighting for Her
Sandra Bland was arrested in Texas for a traffic stop. She was later found hanged in her jail cell. Her death was ruled as a suicide. Her family was even denied the right to have the case reopened despite new video evidence of her encounter. #JusticeForSandraBland Reopen her case
