RIP Troy Anthony Davis (October 9, 1968 - September 21, 2011)

Murdered by the state of Georgia with the tacit approval of millions of Americans for the crime of being black in the wrong place at the wrong time. 

“The struggle for justice doesn’t end with me. This struggle is for all the Troy Davises who came before me and all the ones who will come after me. I’m in good spirits and I’m prayerful and at peace. But I will not stop fighting until I’ve taken my last breath.” - Troy Davis, September 20, 2011

“To take a life when a life has been lost is revenge, not justice.” - Desmond Tutu

This upcoming Wednesday will be the six month anniversary of Troy Davis’ murder. 

Never forget.
