On June 7th, 1998 James Byrd Jr. was brutally killed because of hate. Today marks the 23rd anniversary of his death. Although, it has been 23 years, as a family we still feel the pain of losing him because his death was Senseless. #jamesbyrdjr #thebyrdfoundationforracialhealing

Today in 1998, James Byrd Jr. was killed in Jasper after being dragged by 3 white men. I learned last week that his daughter is @houstonpolice. She joined the Mayor & Chief during the ABC 13 Town Hall-Police/Communities of Color.
Houston should be proud.
