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.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
