#systemic hatred

It has been 60 years since the Civil Rights Movement took form over America, and we are still a nation entrenched with community and systemic hatred toward our Black peers. Worsening this already terrible issue is the fact that police, allegedly designed to protect us from violence, are often the very agents responsible for enacting that violence on Black individuals and communities. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke on the consequences of such prejudice. "Indeed this is the ultimate tragedy of segregation. It not only harms one physically, but it injures one spiritually. It scars the soul,” King Jr. wrote.
