The violence that has plagued America when it specifically comes to African American men is at an all-time high at present. When Craig, a grieving father stands before us sharing his story about the memories of his son it is heartbreaking. For him his son was a superstar, a great kid, a teenager on his way to a life of success. But to the police officer who accidentally shoots him, it feels as if he becomes just another black man in the wrong place at the wrong time, which has become an unacceptable, yet normalized answer. It is a difficult story to hear but one that revolves around a reality that is also difficult for people to except: the first thing that people see is color, sometimes unfortunately that is the only thing that people see. How do you reflect on biases in life, or do you even realize that as human beings we have them? How does one deal with the death of a child who is murdered at the hands of the very people that we are always taught to trust? How does a grieving father move forward with everything important to him is living in the past and only in his memory? Markus Wesley is one of so many African American men who were defenseless in the midst of bullets the word directed at them that should not have been. A true testament of where we are in America right now in 2019 in the story that should leave us all questioning if this is our present what does our future look like?
