16th Street

Life
Black life.

There's always been a difference.

Black life is fragile like a flickering flame.
Extinguished at the slightest infraction.
Four shimmering stars became a great American tragedy.

Shinning light on ugly truths,
making the nation see that terrorists weren't a far off notion, but right here on our soil.

Addie
Denise
Carole
and Cynthia are sewn into the fabric of America.
Putting a face to the plight of millions.
