Oscar Grant Unites Us

This is a piece I created in reflection of the anger, frustration, rage, disappointment and sadness over the murder of Oscar Grant. 

The violence and destruction we witnessed are symptoms of pain. Yet, they are also signs that show that we can unite. If people of all different backgrounds can express their emotions collectively, then they should unite to analyze and prepare effective ways of achieving justice.

Let us take this tragedy as an opportunity to come to the table ready to figure out how we can work together to begin resolving the problems we face daily. Let us embrace diversity as wealth and resources to create self-sufficiency and intercommunal reliance.

Oscar Grant unites us.
