#starbucksclosed

dear @starbucks, Instead of closing early, #makerealchange #useyourvoice #SpeakOut and help free innocent Rojai Fentress - a 15 year old teenager (nicknamed Fats) who in 1996, because of the color of his skin, was sentanced to #lifeinprison for a crime he did not commit. On the strength of 1 witness who didn't actually see the slaying, and with no physical evidence linking #Fentress to the homicide, a jury found him guilty of murder. Over 2 decades later, this innocent (now 38) teenager is still in prison. #ThisIsAmerica @childishgambino @dwaynebetts #BlackLivesMatters #theinnocenceproject #starbucks #starbuckscoffee #starbucksclosed #roseanne #visualjournalism #visualnarrative #louisabertman #myfeminismis #feminism #illustration #animatedtruth #poeticjustice Animated poem written/spoken by 2018 #Guggenheim Fellow, #DwayneBetts (cellmate and friend of Fats) for @wnycstudios #wnyc #caughtpodcast series in partnership with @the.root #theroot #learnthefacts #share #Rojaifentress #story and #speakup: https://www.newsleader.com/story/news/local/2016/12/14/innocence-project-questions-fentress-murder-conviction/94674660/ Change.org petition: change.org/p/terry-mcauliffe-help-free-rojai-fentress-after-21yrs-of-incarceration-for-a-crime-he-didn-t-commit #animatedpoetry: vimeo.com/272258596
