“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.” ~ Frederick Douglass

Truth is fighting a circular battle of distortion and resistance from all sides. Which makes disseminating information challenging. But there are still ways to get voices like Garrick McFadden heard in the fight for racial justice.

His experience as a black man living in the U.S. is both a powerful and sobering message and one I hope you will share with others.
