It happens to be nearly impossible to be black in this country and not live in fear for your life---and how horrible that we have not managed to move faster in the direction of acceptance instead of trying to move back to the 50's with the current administration. What an incredible, heart-breaking story Robbie Tolan has lived to tell. The book is current right up to the latest school shooting but his book is directed at the innocent lives, including his own, lost as a result of racial prejudice that pushes into so many interactions between authority figures and people with a skin color that doesn't happen to be...white. And although there are some remarkably wonderful people who tried to help, Robbie never did get justice -- he was denied, again and again. What was that original jury thinking???? This book needs to be read -- it is written in great detail--you step into Robbie's shoes because he gives you everything that has happened to him. It's a painful story but we all need to work, person to person, to crush stereotypes and try to understand each other as one human to another. Yes, this book affected me.

The harrowing true story of Robbie Tolan, a young black man who was shot in the chest by a white police officer . . . in his own driveway. NO JUSTICE is the harrowing story of Robbie Tolan, who early on one New Year's Eve morning, found himself being rushed to the hospital. A white police officer had shot him in the chest after mistakenly accusing him of stealing his own car...while in his own driveway. In a journey that took nearly a decade, Tolan and his family saw his case go before the United States Supreme Court in a groundbreaking decision, while Tolan struggled with how to put his life back together. Holding him together through this journey was the strength of his mother and father, his faith in God, and an impenetrable belief that he deserved justice like any other American who'd been wronged. NO JUSTICE is the story about what happened after the cameras and social media protests went away. Robbie Tolan was left with the physical and mental devastation from having his body violated by someone who was supposed to serve and protect him. His story reminds us that police brutality is not a theoretical talking point in a larger nationwide argument. This story is about Robbie Tolan courageously picking up the pieces of his life, even as he fights for justice for all. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
