Justice for Black Lives Lost
In honoring the latest Black life taken unnecessarily by police, we wanted to share a list of names of unarmed Black lives taken by police, just in the last 5 years.
It is a tragedy to add another name, and we always pray it will be the last.
Will you be part of stopping this brutality on Black bodies by Police?
