Ma'Khia Bryant

On the day that justice was finally being rendered for murder of George Floyd, 16 year old Ma’Khia Bryant of Columbus, OH had gotten into a physical altercation outside of her foster mothers home when police were called to the scene back in April.  When the officer arrived the ending result was Ma’Khia Bryant dying […]

Three U.S. lawmakers penned a letter asking the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to investigate Ma'Khia's time as a ward of the state under the jurisdiction of Franklin County Children Services.

The mission for funerals like Ma'Khia Bryant's should be to celebrate children and mourn lives cut too short. Instead, these live-streamed funerals are part of the choreography of state murders and modern day lynchings of Black bodies.

Led by Black legal, faith and community leaders, the Columbus Police Accountability Coalition wants the DOJ to investigate the Ohio capital city's police department for the first time in more than 20 years, not a review like the mayor requested.

There is no lullaby of "justice, only the ongoing nightmare of policing.

Not even an hour after the verdict came down in the trial against Former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin for murdering George Floyd, we’re faced with yet another case of someone dying at the hands of a police officer. This time it's a 16-year-old Columbus, Ohio teen named Ma'Khia Bryant.
