                                                                  "Open Letter" Thank You, LeBron James, Derrick Rose, Kobe Bryant, and many others for showing support and standing up for many of the voiceless people that have been trying to protest for change.

Mike Brown's stepfather being investigated. Mike's stepfather was angry in the results of his son's case. However, he is being investigated and is potentially going to jail.

There needs to be more justice for a brown man in today's society. In the latest news" Mr. Eric Garner death case is spreading around America. Unarmed, this man died. No CPR or help, his heart give out from the stress of being in a avoidable situation. This is issue that needs to stop. We need to figure out how not to take a step backwards in the racial advancement of this country. #Justice #Fair-Treatment-for-all
