I’m so proud of my city, Baltimore. Proud of the many organizers who have been out there leading the people. Proud of our demand for justice. I refuse to police our anger. I won’t chastise us for lashing out. This anger is well deserved. We earned this anger. Thousands of years of systematic oppression and brutality will do this to a people. We’ve been peacefully knocking at the doors of justice for years. We knocked with smiles. We knocked with love. We knocked in suites and nice tailored dresses. We knocked and America refused to let us in. They killed us while at that door. So, what’s next? You bust your way in. America didn’t receive its independence through peace you know. • images by @bydvnlln
