How much unrest will our country experience before we substantively address the injustices acutely impacting Black people?
For months, across the nation, tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets to demand police accountability, transparency and justice for the families that have fallen victims to state violence.
I am Latino and I stand in support members of the Black community seeking justice for their children and families. It’s time that we, as Latinos, boldly speak out in support of justice. If we are to truly deal with racism in America impacting Latinos, we need to understand what is happening right now with Black America.
