Phaedra Parks shared an emotional message about the family of Rashard Brooks. She said that she had the honor to serve his family. Check out the video below.
‘This week I had the honor to serve #RayshardBrooks’ family; his lovely wife Tomeka and their four beautiful children. As a #mother and a #blackwoman my heart breaks every time I see another hashtag and hear about another black person being senselessly killed. We cry, we post, we protest but we rarely see #justice served when it’s just us being murdered. This storm has been brewing for years,’ Phaedra began.
She continued and said: ‘I remember in 2014 when I learned about the murder of #MichaelBrown and I went to Ferguson to rally on his behalf. Six years later, I’m still getting the calls, now more frequently than ever detailing countless stories of continued dehumanization and crimes against Black people. I know organized movements create change- so it’s #AboutTime that we stay #consistent and apply pressure so that our #sons and #daughters are not afraid of becoming the next #. 2020 has clarified that nothing in life is certain but the struggle to #survive in the midst of #COVID19 and #COVID1619. The #fight for #equality should not be a trend- EQUALITY is a RIGHT! Thank you @bricesander & @entertainmenttonight for documenting these historical moments.’
