How many more men are still sitting in a cell for something they didn't do?
You can't pay back 28 years. You can only make sure it never happens again.
Black boys are so vulnerable man, especially in institutional settings smh. Where are the public education campaigns highlighting their plights? I guess that would require the public to actually care about their suffering.

As a veteran, I have absolutely NO problem with WNBA players choosing not to be on the court during the national anthem. Do y’all understand that some of us served and sacrificed so people could have the FREEDOM to make that very choice?
The right to stand, sit, walk away, protest, or express yourself differently is part of living in a country that protects individual freedoms. Serving this country doesn’t mean everyone has to express their patriotism the same way. You don’t have to agree with their decision, but you should understand the freedom behind it.
You cannot claim to love freedom while getting angry when someone exercises it in a way you don’t like. That freedom is bigger than your personal feelings about how someone should honor a flag or an anthem. And as a veteran I understand that distinction just fine. GOOD DAY!
