April 15, 2020 Corona (COVID-19) and Confinement
Dr. Martin Luther King said “In a real sense all life is inter-related. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” This is true now more than ever. The COVID-19 is brought to these prisoners and then they spread it to not only other prisoners but to the guards, nurses and health care workers that work in the prison. Then, of course, the workers pass it back to the communities they live in. Overcrowded prisons make social distancing impossible. Solving the injustice of mass incarceration is tied to all of our fates now.

Jobs aren't being destroyed fast elsewhere like the US. Why is That?

In just one week, from March 15 to March 21, 3.3 million workers filed for unemployment insurance. According to some projections, the unemployment rate might rise as high as 30 percent in the second quarter of 2020. Instead of safeguarding employment, America is relying on beefed-up unemployment benefits to shield laid-off workers from economic hardship.

February 24, 2020 EP:60 - Kobe and Demonization of Black Humanity
The death of Kobe and his daughter Gigi demonstrated how black men mourn and appreciate their children. It showed the world that black men are vulnerable and need support too. After Kobe’s death, #girldad started trending with pics of black men and their daughters. Of course, in the outrage and cancel culture we live in there was an immediate attempt to undermine his legacy based upon a past rape allegation. The #MeToo is necessary and women face real challenges and issues of harassment, violence, and discrimination. However, black men experience this too. Black men are demonized, sexualized and targeted. The stories of Emmett Tills, the Central Park 5 and Brian Banks show black men are guilty if accused by white women, no matter the facts. Black men have to fight for their humanity at birth and even in death.
