Bobby Seale With reverence and sorrow, we remember the death of Michael Brown. We know black lives matter.
We bear witness.
On Saturday, August 9, 2014, Michael Brown was shot by an officer of the Ferguson Police Department in Ferguson, Missouri. We know black lives matter.
We bear witness.
The media gives us conflicting stories. We know black lives matter.
We bear witness.
We are not distracted by misinformation. We know black lives matter.
We bear witness.
Misinformation encourages us to put our frustration and sadness somewhere outside of ourselves, outside of these walls. On the police, on the dead young man, on the system. We know black lives matter.
We bear witness.
As a community, we reflect on the thread that connects the actions of an armed police officer with our own. We examine our snap judgments. We challenge the times we have remained silent while another suffered. We know black lives matter.
We bear witness.
We recognize that in order to challenge a system that is built to maintain racism, we must contemplate the effects of our everyday actions. We know black lives matter.
We bear witness.
We do not look away from the things that are hard to see. We know black lives matter.
We bear witness.
When justice eludes us
We bear witness.
We take courage.
We bear witness.
We extend love.
We bear witness.
