Current day connections to my book
Some recent things that have happened with unfairness. One thing is the shooting of Stephon Clarke, a man shot in his own backyard minding his own business. And the shooting was ruled fair the the white police. Another thing is black people being unfairly arrested. Recently a man was accused for trespassing at Starbucks because he asked to use the bathroom and was waiting for a friend, but did not purchase anything. Ending in his arrest. In my book Steve Harmons is being charged with a crime he didn't commit. A robbery was happening in a convenience store on 54th street. He had a gun put to his head and the original robbers told him to cause commotion and a distraction so nobody would notice. I then read the original robbers had killed the store clerk. Long after the arrests were made he is now in court possibly facing life for a murder he had nothing to do with. They connect with each other because both stories show the unfairness of the justice system towards blacks.
