PRESS STATEMENT - FROM MINNEAPOLIS TO MEMPHIS BLACK LIVES STILL DON’T MATTER AMERICA…YOU HAVE A PROBLEM!
“Black folks live with the personal trauma every day of wondering whether or not this is the day that I will have an encounter with the police as they pull up behind or right next to my car. Will my child make it home safely from school or work when he and his friends are walking together or driving together in a group? As he goes to visit a friend in a different neighborhood, will he be viewed as a trespasser, a criminal, someone who does not belong? There is a culture in American policing that has imbedded within it, racial, physical, and intellectual stereotypes of Black men in particular.”

PRESS STATEMENT - JUSTICE IS NOT JUST RETRIBUTION IT IS ALSO REDEMPTION
“This acknowledgment is a start. However, we must also realize that claiming “disgust for Martel’s hiring” has cost him to resign from his job and forced him to relive his prior negative activity. He has already paid that price. It has tainted Justice Bolden. Many persons will hear only the original attack made upon her. They will forever be stuck in the halls of an injustice done to her.”
