1/Brian Williams conducted a profound interview w/Bryan Stevenson of The Equal Justice Initiative on #The11thHour about murder of #AhmaudArbery. Here’s a few of Stevenson’s insightful quotes: “There’s a presumption of dangerousness&guilt that’s assigned to black&brown people.”
2/Bryan Stevenson: “It’s almost as if the burden is on a person of color to prove that their victimization is legitimate...that they don’t deserve what they got...that they haven’t done something wrong.” #JusticeForAhmaudArbery
3/Bryan Stevenson:”To justify the brutal abuse&mistreatment (of slavery), we created the myth that blk ppl are dangerous,that they’re presumptively guilty. We ended chattel slavery,but we didnt end that narrative. We went from calling blk ppl slaves to calling blk ppl criminals.”
