#FreeKarmelo - BLM Grassroots Director Dr. Melina Abdullah Was on the Ground at the Texas Trial

Karmelo Anthony was just 17 years old when he was confronted and bullied at a high‑school track meet. Despite the fact that the aggressors put their hands on him first, Karmelo was charged with first degree murder and convicted. Karmelo, now 19, received a 35‑year prison sentence. Dominique DiPrima and Melina Abdullah discussed the case in the broader context of race, justice, and community impact. Melina Abdullah, a professor of Pan‑African Studies at Cal State LA and co‑founder of Black Lives Matter Los Angeles and Director of Black Lives Matter Grassroots.
