Tag: “I am Oscar Grant”

There are not a lot of films where young Black men, throughout all of our tribulations with the police, the streets and society’s stereotypes, are able to be seen as protectors and providers for their family. “Fruitvale Station” is a great movie that people should go see, especially young Black males, because it is our story and it is told in such a delicate way, where you realize there are no angels and demons.

These short but moving statements of solidarity with the family of Oscar Grant come from parents whose children were also murdered by police. Let's spread the word to every mayor, city council and police department in the country that the days when police could murder young Black men - or anyone - with impunity are over!
