COMMENTARY: THE UNDERGRADUATE GRAND CHAPTER OFFICERS
This is a time to unite as one and right the wrongs of our justice system and realize that Black men and Black lives matter. We will not back down. We will continue to achieve beyond limits despite the hardships we face. No longer will we sit and standby, but we will be men of action and achievement and jump in knee deep to defend our own, our rights, and the country where we should have justice and liberty for all. We will answer the call issued at Mr. Floyd's funeral and be visible at the 57 th anniversary of the March On Washington. NDING OF THIS R OWN WORDS
When- ever I hear of
another brother or sister of mine who lost their lives to police brutality/murder or a racially-charged hate crime, I become angrier and angrier. I am angry because these are real lives that are being taken away. The victims are someone, and they should not be mer- cilessly murdered due to racism. What makes it even worse is that some of these violent acts are being recorded and documented, yet, there is little to no justice being served. I urge the U.S. Criminal Justice System to always grant just judgments on racially charged cases out of respect for our fallen brothers and sisters. If not, it is only a matter of time before we take justice into our own hands.
