Tamir Rice would've been 21 yrs old this year. He became an ancestor today in 2014 after being murdered by an overreacting cop in Ohio. The cop walked. Tamir was only 12 yrs old. Say. His. Name.🕯💐💐💐

For Mom, it was Emmett Till and for me, the radicalization was Tamir Rice. Much like Mom saw her own sons in Emmett Till, I saw all my nephews in that baby face, with hints of the man Tamir could become.
Goddammit.

I grew up on Chicago’s South Side, 7 blocks from Emmet Till’s home. I was 6 years old when he was murdered. My parents didn’t go to the wake, but they had a copy of the magazine with the photo of his body. I remember seeing it and being so frightened by people who would do that to a child.
