Ervin D. Fowlkes Sr. in Birmingham, Alabama, USA,
on 3 May 1963, being attacked by police dogs during a civil rights protest.
No Domestic Tranquility for our Black sons They
are not insurgents. They are not enemy combatants. They are not hostile
enemy forces. They are not terrorists. They are our Black sons. And I
beg you America to stop killing them in their own backyards, in the
streets outside of nightclubs, on the phone talking to their girlfriend,
and a few blocks from convenience stores from which they may or may not
have stolen cigars. They do not deserve to die for such trivial
incidents. Stop it.Stop killing our Black sons.
They
are the babies whom we carried in our wombs for nine months and birthed
them into a world we thought was filled with hopes and dreams, and
promises of a better future, and a better life.Stop killing our Black sons. Original Post: Insightnews;
