Growing the Voices of Our Future

       We should continue to prove our point by marching and demanding fair treatment; let’s do the changes now. Black should not be a personality trait. […]

       On a video that surfaced on the internet, it shows Floyd pleading that he is in pain and can’t breathe. After a few moments, his eyes closed and the pleading stopped. He was then pronounced dead shortly after. […]

STOP KILLING US! […]
