Two years ago we were in “hoodies” in memory of Trayvon Martin, Now its’s #Don’t Shoot, we got our hands up. It is like Marvin Gaye says in his “Inner City Blues” from back in the day, “Makes me wanna holler throw up both my hands.” All this death of black people from Renisha Mcbride to now with this young man makes me want to holler and throw up both my hands. But instead i pray to my my Father in heaven for peace. May young Mike Brown rest in peace.
The James Baldwin quote you left on Abagond’s blog was so on point. Thanks for that.
Thank you so much. EMM
