A photograph I took at the funeral of Amadou Diallo in 1999. This photo breaks my heart and my heart breaks further thinking that nothing has changed. I hope that social media can amplify the issue of police brutality so loudly that no one can turn away.
Yesssss.
Congrats to @nhannahjones of @nytimes for her well-deserved Pulitzer Prize for her essay that is the heart of the #1619 project.
And, I am so pleased to also see the iconic Ida B. Wells honored as well with a special citation.
