CNN covered our series on Barbara Simon, the disgraced Detroit detective who coerced innocent men into falsely confessing. Since our series ran, prosecutors have released two other victims of Simon’s tactics. More coming this week. https://t.co/0m4lNONoTh

Da’Quain Johnson, a father, a son, and a brother, was executed by the Grand Rapids Police Department. He was face down on the ground with his hands behind his back, being mauled by a police dog, when they shot him in the head multiple times. His kids witnessed their dad’s murder.

My mother, Coretta Scott King, is Black history.

She was more than the wife of my father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. She was the founder of The King Center, a global peacemaker, and a steadfast architect of justice. Her courage, discipline, and unwavering commitment to nonviolence helped carry the Movement forward and expand its reach around the world.

Black history is not only something we study. It is something we live, protect, and continue.

Four years ago, Shanteari Young shot her then-husband after learning that he sexually abused children at her day care.

Having finished a four-year sentence in prison, Young now wants to advocate for children who’ve experienced sexual abuse
