“We don’t see people just dropping off like flies and dying. We don’t physically see someone
becoming a skeleton and then not being able to live any longer and just dying. We saw that
30 years ago and so that was why there was such an outrage. It was like ‘I’m not going to just

“Each and every one of us has to come together to change that. There is no reason that Black
