  "I Can't Breathe" and "We Can't Breathe" protest chants echoed throughout the streets of New York City in memory of Eric Garner. Director Nickolas Rossi takes a look back at the first night of protests throughout the city of New York in honor of Eric Garner: http://bit.ly/1vuaWXL “The deep sadness comes from the fact that this parade of unarmed black bodies – often in the prime of their vitality, young, at the peak of their energy – works. In the face of their show of force we have in the recent past been unaware and unwilling to use our collective power. We are not willing to risk our lives, our livelihood, our comfort, in the service of dismantling white supremacy, wealth supremacy, oligarchy, and patriarchy… quickly.” Terence Nance: http://bit.ly/1yhQTwe via Eurweb “The killing of Mike Brown and subsequent lack of indictment of officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri is just the most recent in a string of heinous human rights violations perpetrated against US citizens by public servants. In Oakland, in New York, in Albuquerque, in Chicago, in more cities and incidents than we can track — we have lost our brothers, our sons and our beloved sisters. Some of us have been raped. Some of us have been beaten. All of us have been violated. The list of names is too long to let spill from our mouths and everyday we are coping, trying to understand how.” Chinaka Hodge: http://bit.ly/1yhRrlW via Ebony Eric Garner was a Father of 6.
