Abstract

In Ferguson, a wound bleeds. For 108 days, we have been in a state of prolonged and protracted grief.... We have had no choice but to cling together in hope, faith, love and indomitable determination to capture that ever-escaping reality of justice ... we find ourselves reinjured, continually heartbroken, and robbed of even the remote possibility of judicial resolution. For 108 days, we have continuously been admonished that we should "let the system work," and wait to see what the results are. The results are in. And we still don'thavejustice. . . . We, altogether, bound up in a system that continues to treat some men better than others. A system that preserves some and disregards others. A system that protects the rights of some and does not guard the rights of all. And until this system is dismantled, until the status quo that deems us less valuable than others is no longer acceptable or profitable, we will struggle.
