Rojai Fentress was a 15 year old teenager who in 1996 - on the strength of one witness who didn't actually see the slaying, and with no physical evidence linking #Fentress to the homicide, a jury found him guilty on the murder charge. He was sentenced to #lifeinprison for a crime he did not commit. Over 2 decades later, this innocent (now 38) teenager is still in prison. #ThisIsAmerica #examplesofracism #BlackLivesMatters #theinnocenceproject #starbucks #roseanne #visualjournalism #dwaynebetts #visualnarrative #louisabertman #myfeminismis #feminist #illustration #animatedtruth #poeticjustice #dosomething #petition to @governorterrymcauliffe #governorterrymcauliffe change.org/p/terry-mcauliffe-help-free-rojai-fentress-after-21yrs-of-incarceration-for-a-crime-he-didn-t-commit Animated poem written/spoken by 2018 #Guggenheim Fellow, #DwayneBetts (cellmate and friend of Fats) for @wnycstudios #wnyc #caughtpodcast series in partnership with @the.root #theroot #learnthefacts #share #Rojaifentress #story and #speakup: https://www.newsleader.com/story/news/local/2016/12/14/innocence-project-questions-fentress-murder-conviction/94674660/ vimeo.com/272258596
