Dear Oscar Grant, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Peace bro. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The significance of your life isn’t lost on me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You were a human. A son, father and nephew. And unfortunately, a casualty of an American war. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Filed under police brutality somewhere between Rodney King and Mike Brown, your story stood out because social media carried the cell phone footage of you getting gunned down on a platform by a guy in uniform—by far not the first of its form. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Something that we all knew went on, but seeing the visual... man, the visual. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I saw it 10 years ago, and if I never saw it again, I’d still never forget. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A decade later and little, if anything, has changed—including my reverence for your story. It’s a significant piece of this dark and twisted thing we call American history. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ —P.
