LATIN AMERICA: Black Women on the Bottom RungBy Diego Cevallos- MEXICO CITY, Jun 19 (IPS) -

The body of Jessie Davis Found.
This is sad news to the week-long search for Ms. Davis, who was nine-months pregnant and a mother of a two-year old son. Click here and here. My prayers and sympathy are with her family. As Ms. Davis is being mourned, let's also remember Latoyia Figueroa and Reyna Marroquin whose lives ended in tragedy as Jessie Davis. May they all rest in peace.
