VOICES OF THE UNHEARD: WHEN WILL BLACK LIVES MATTER
Across America, despite the alarming threat of COVID-19, and several months removed from cameras capturing a Minneapolis police officer kneeling on the neck of George Floyd for more than 8 minutes slowly killing him, the eyes of the world turned to Kenosha, Wisconsin for yet another police shooting of an unarmed Black man. Jacob Blake was shot 7 times in his back while leaning in the car where his children were present inside. Protests in the community broke out as the video began to circulate social media and members of the community demanded justice and sought explanation as to why we are again mourning and grappling with yet another unarmed Black man fighting for his life after being shot by police.
