"We mourn for Tamir, and for all of the black people who have been killed by the police without justice.”

As children my friends and I played, had dance parties, and of course, sometimes got in trouble as many kids do. I was able to move forward, graduate from high school and college, become a productive member of society, and survive my childhood blunders. Thank God I can say "I remember when."

"This issue is bigger than me; it's about everyone."
