Awareness during Black History Month

Issues that have been happening for so many years before many of were even born are still occurring when it comes to law enforcement arresting a Black Man. A choke hold does not occur at first sight. The issue needs to be solved from the very beginning of how they are viewed in order for things to change permanently.


"A Black person is five times more likely to be stopped without just cause than a white person."

"A Black man is twice as likely to be stopped without just cause than a Black woman."
