Never forgot my #trayvon His name was #phillippannell he was 16 years old. This happened right before I went to college...a year after #exonerated5 were wrongfully imprisoned. #swipeleft for a bit of this story and why it keeps continuing. #whitesilencekills #blacklivesmatter #nothingnewunderthesun #weshallovercomesomeday https://www.instagram.com/p/CN0BbSqp50A/?igshid=8ckqup7zh2gx

Thank you #@babynamesdotcom for your allyship in recognizing so many adults children who were once babies whose lives were taken. Thank you also for acknowledging my Trayvon from 1990: #phillippannell shot in the back with his hands up when I was in high school. I'll never forget how police chief emerged came out the precinct and told an upset crowd after we waited for hours that evening, "You people need to go home!!" His attitude underlined the big disconnect between the police and the Black (and Brown) community. My Mom @dorothyknows was called on to lead racialdialogues that took place for months afterwards. She was also put on the civilian review board but resigned several months later when she realized forming the board was lip service and addressing the real issues wasn't going to happen. It's one of the chapters of her book I finished writing for her. #babynames #blacklivesmatter #whiteallies #swipeleft https://www.instagram.com/p/CCFMR9ppDuA/?igshid=1k520nmbx4oub

I FINALLY CRIED!!! I was fighting tears but during #eightminutesfortysixseconds of silence and seeing the images from across the country, the tears finally fell!!! The #georgefloydmemorial service allowed to peek into the close knit family he came from, the love from his siblings and #3rdward community in Houston...He touched so many and gave big hugs. He had overcome A LOT and never had the chance to reach his full potential....like so many lost in these countless unnecessary killings. Rev. Sharpton speech was right on. The Rev was in my hometown when my Trayvon #phillippannell was killed when I was in high school. He has always been a voice in these matters and is a true treasure. Glad to see so many from media come out to represent as well....We have a pandemic called corona and an EPIDEMIC that was with us all along but few acknowledged it. Now its finally front and center! Good old #systemicracism And finally more of our #whiteallies are showing up!! My Mama @dorothyknows would be in tears too!! I wish she'd lived to see it!! But we have not overcome. And there's so much more to do. Mark your calendars for the #marchonwashington on August 28th!!! And keep calling, posting, marching, signing, emailing and most importantly TALKING so we can heal this nation once and for ALL!!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CBCEHhzpNC0/?igshid=1t1s8s1511lrv

Thank you @ava for sharing this part of my personal history. I was enraged living right across the river...and in grief because my Dad died the exact same day...which I realized when I saw #centralparkfive @paffnow a few years back....and #45 racist colors were on display then too...And then I had my #trayvon 2 years later. His name was #phillippannell he was unarmed and killed. Luckily these guys survived and have a real testimony to share. So much was taken from them....And the same thing continues to happen to this very day especially to young non-white men...#whentheyseeus is a #mustsee for every #american citizen. Streaming on #netflix now.. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByIadkdlGlZ/?igshid=wuoz5hza5j1r

April 10, 1990 #memories Many of us have heard the saying there’s 3 sides to a story: Your side, My side, GOD’s side (what actually happened). . Shortly after sunset 16 year old #phillippannell was shot and killed by officer #garyspath . Til this day the most dominant narrative paints an altered picture about what actually happened in order to ease and protect the burden on the #crewinblue . This #limited #notforsale #memorial sticker is just a small reminder of the beauty and potential of a young man’s life. This is a mother’s child, a father’s child, a little sister’s big brother, a beloved friend to many, a little homie to many, and for me right now another reminder of #whatif . Let’s do more! ☝🏿♥️ #haveabeautifullife #neverforgotten #teaneck #nj #usa https://www.instagram.com/p/BwFOnSVnEIG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8ic9c57srpdi

Thank you @mysonnenygeneral for this reminder: #donotremainsilent if you want to #bethechange #imwithkap not with a cooperation silences a non-violent player. The first time I yelled out the phrase #nojusticenopeace I was 17. One of my peers #phillippannell was shot by a cop. In the back. Across the street from where I went to kindergarten and 1st grade. Phillip was my #trayvon and I will never forget that time..Too many of us have a story like this. Too many of us fear for our peers, brothers sisters, sons, and daughters, mothers, and fathers..Since so many don't believe #blacklivesmatter and #brownlivesmatter including the #nfl we have a huge issue and #libertyandjusticeforall will remain a myth. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtbnrDohdgP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j3kacy2lulte
