Dear Oscar Grant, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Brother, I was 18 years old, and your murder was the first-hand experience my grandmother had always told me about. She used to tell me as a Black man I have to aware of my surroundings and be careful of the law. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have been harassed by the police and thought it was just something they did to Black and Brown males routinely. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your murder has helped open my eyes and realize it is possible I too could be murdered by law officials and no type of punishment—nothing could ever replace a life—accommodation, or justice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My condolences to the family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ —Drakkar Noir (Berkeley, CA) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #DearOscarGrant #OscarGrant #10Years #SayHisName #Oakland ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: Mark Ralston/Getty Images
