Some voices like those of Cameron Jordan, Demario Davis, and Michael Thomas have been vocal since before Ahmaud Arbery’s life was taken while jogging by vigilantes on February 23rd, before Breonna Taylor was killed in her own home by police on March 13th, and before George Floyd was choked to death as an officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes on March 25th.
It may be daunting to read recounts of these atrocities, but it is necessary. Necessary to remember how these unarmed lives were taken, those before them, and those since.
