Summary

Police across the United States have been urged to investigate black people for doing all kinds of daily, mundane, noncriminal activities. This year alone, police have been called on African-Americans for: Operating a lemonade store, Golfing too slowly, Waiting for a friend at Starbucks, Barbecuing at a park, Working out at a gym, Campaigning door to door, and so much more. The Black experience and all that comes with it has until recently been seen as made up fictional tales that may have a small amount of truth in it, but whatever the issue was, it was seen as the fault of the Black person. With the murder of George Floyd publicized for the world to see, there is no more turning a blind eye to the facts of "Living While Black."
