Truth!

[Ben Crump @AttorneyCrump]

For decades, Black families have carried the pain of a medical system that too often treated our bodies as experiments instead of human beings.

We’ve filed a historic lawsuit alleging Ross Otto Hambrick and Victor King, two innocent Black babies, who died after being secretly used as test subjects in an NIH-sponsored RSV vaccine trial without their parents’ informed consent.

Their lives mattered. Their families deserve truth, accountability, and justice!

Most of you don’t know who she is, but she’s important. Her name is Latasha Harlins. In 1991, at the ripe age of 15, Latasha went to her local Korean owned food mart and never made it out. The store owner’s wife, Soon Ja Du, mistook her for trying to steaI a bottle of orange juice and a minor struggle ensued. Du grabbed Latasha and ended up getting pushed to the ground. Du then went and got her gun and pointed it at Latasha. Latasha bends down, picks up the orange juice, and places it on the counter. As Latasha had walked away to leave the store, Du shơt Latasha in the back of the head at a 3 foot distance, kiIIing her immediately. Du tried to claim self-defense, but there were 2 eyewitnesses, and the store’s security camera showed otherwise. The jury convicted Du and advised the judge to go with the maximum sentence of 16 years. Du walked away with 400 hours of community service, 5 years probation, and a $500 fine, as the judge said, although Mrs. D acted inappropriately, her actions were justified. Judge Joyce Karlin states that Mrs. Du was the victim, Latasha is the criminal and would be standing in front of her for assault on a store clerk had she not died. The slaughter of Latasha Harlins is one of the major factors in the initiating of the LA Riots. We only hear about Rodney King, but she is the original #SayHerName. Tupac had an affinity for Latasha and mentioned her name in several songs as well as dedicated the iconic song “Keep Ya Head Up” to Latasha. So today we say Latasha Harlins, you’re a pillar baby girl, whether they realize or not. And today, someone heard ya story❤️

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future. As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.

Jalen Randle should be celebrating his 33rd birthday today. Instead, his life was cut short, shot in the back of the neck by a Houston police officer. His family is still fighting for justice. Jalen should be here. No officer should play judge, jury, & executioner. Rest in Power

‼️UPDATE: A WHITE teacher thought it was “funny” to sing a RACIST version of the birthday song to a Black 6-year-old student on his special day.

In front of the class, she mocked him with:

🎶 “Happy Birthday to you… You look like a monkey, you live in a zoo.”

The elementary school has since launched an investigation.
