Wronfully Convicted
We've seen many ceremonies where those are awarded medals of honor for acts of valor; acts of courage; acts of bravery; humanitarian efforts and commendable leadership. On a local level, we see awards/medals given for community activism; volunteer works; charity; sportsmanship and etc. In the modern era, we disgustingly continue to witness hundreds of black and brown men stand before public podiums announcing that they've been exonerated from their criminal conviction after spending decades in prison. They all resonate with the same message: there are thousands of people in prison who cannot get the legal assistance they need to get their cases heard. This is definitely a pandemic in an epic proportion that continues to tell a tale that we're so naive in accepting: that there is no justice for black and brown men, and in rare cases, it's insultingly delayed. They have to fight like they've been fighting. While it is a small victory, a bigger story is being told...
