Dear Lesley McSpadden, Esaw Garner, Monica McBride, loved ones of Domonique Newburn as well as the countless others of us who have in the last year lost someone dear to unfathomable violence: Your cries have touched our collective soul. The endless tears that come with such loss join a flood that could easily drown America given that so many of us have lost loved ones too early. Your kin, like so many others we can name and so many more we do not know about or cannot recall, died too young. Black people are predisposed to early deaths in America- the result of direct murder or the slow insidious death created by structural inequalities, racism, white supremacy, gender violence, and homophobia. Douglas Ramsey and JT Roane
