Her death was announced Tuesday by the Claudette Colvin Legacy Foundation. Ashley D. Roseboro of the organization confirmed she died in Texas.

Colvin was arrested months before Rosa Parks gained international fame before refusing to give up her seat on a segregated bus.

hey, can we all stop talking about Charlie Kirk and start talking about Trey Reed?

Body of a Black student is found hanging from a tree in Mississippi

Police at Delta State University said no evidence of foul play was found in the death of Demartravion “Trey” Reed, but an investigation is o

Trey Reed was found yesterday hanging from a tree in Mississippi. The police are saying there was "no foul play", but anyone with half a brain knows what this really is. This was a young black man who was lynched this week in America. A thousand articles on Charlie Kirk, and yet I have heard nothing but radio silence about Trey Reed. I only learned about it when a video popped up on my social media. Think about the implications of this: this is a modern day lynching, a hate crime, and a conservative white man is getting all of the press while Reed gets nothing. Liberals and conservatives alike are mourning Kirk, but where are the people speaking out against Reed's murder?

If anyone still thinks we don't still have a massive racism problem is this country, it's time to wake up. The sad thing is, I think most people know that, it's just that so many people do not care.

I know I don't have much reach here, but I haven't seen a single thing about this man, and this atrocity cannot just be forgotten, lost under the articles of Charlie Kirk and whatever Trump is doing.

Justice for Trey Reed. I don't know what else to say. Speak out about this, don't let him be forgotten.

Tamir Rice should be celebrating his 23rd birthday today.

Instead, his life was stolen at just 12 years old when he was killed by an Ohio police officer.

We are thinking of you today and always, Tamir. Sending so much love to your family. 🤍
