A DUTY TO PERFORM
By Leonard Dabydeen
They that have such power to pull a gun
By law to protect and to serve us all,
Must watch targets they follow as they run;
And be ready without fault for a call.

In 2014, the shooting death by police of unarmed teenager Michael Brown ignited country- wide protests and produced the Black Lives Matter movement.
Now the recent killing of Stephon Clark in his own backyard in Sacramento, California, has once again given rise to the question– how much change has there been? Continue reading →
