This is due to an estimate produced by Dr. William “Sandy” Darity. He suggested that paying this would close the racial wealth gap and uplift the 40 million descendants of slavery in America. https://t.co/50wBG380ce

My latest for @TeenVogue explores the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A. Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it was tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars.

New video has emerged of NYPD cops brutally beating a man working at a homeless shelter.

The cops didn’t have a warrant to enter the facility, and the workers’ boss told him not to let them in.

So they attacked him. Trigger warning for the video.

Police in Alabama shot and killed a 16-year-old boy in his own home during a no-knock raid in the middle of the night. Body camera footage allegedly shows Randall Adjessom raising his hands and backing away just before an officer opened fire. He was left bleeding on the floor for 4 minutes before officers attempted to render aid. Randall is remembered as a loving family member who brought joy to those around him. RIP
