This book was lent to me by my good friend Bailey and I loved it!!! It is chilling, cruel and unacceptable to know that police brutality was and still is very much a problem that needs to be dealt with. These families and communities should never be forced to go this far just to be seen, heard and justified. Starr knew grief, trauma and loss far too young. She is one of many. “Sometimes you can do everything right and things still go wrong; the key is to never stop doing right.” An inspiring quote Starr’s mother often shared with her. They shouldn’t have to repeat this to themselves as often as they do. Black Lives Matter and it’s about fucking time we as a society start treating them like they do. Justice for Oscar Grant. Justice for Trayvon Martin. Justice for Tamir Rice. Justice for them all. No freedom until we are ALL equal, respected and free. I will continue to use my voice to demand this change.
