Long overdue. This hits home and I'm I'm glad that you are putting this out. I'm a native Washintonian and I see, read, and hear about this everyday. Toooo many bodies and NO ONE cares to know who did it. Our Black babies are dying and as a mother of a 7 year old, something needs to be done and it starts at home. Thank you for this.
