Elijah McClain & The Invisibility of 

Black & Brown Boys Who Are "Different"

In addition to the countless number of unarmed Black men and women who continue to be unjustifiably murdered by police because of the bogus phone calls about them being "suspicious", etc. from racist members of our society, some of them are just plain "misunderstood" by police and society—which is exactly what happened in the case of Elijah McClain during the summer of 2019. For the many families of Black boys and men who are "different", the fear of police encounters is a double threat and that is especially near and dear to my heart. Say his name. Elijah McClain. Black history is American history all day, every day!
