Cheryl Neely's Important Book, No Human Involved
This book is what we need in order to know about the sordid pattern of police indifference toward Black victims of crime, especially when it involved Black women.
I have discussed about this indifference and hostility toward Black women victims of crime on this very blog for years, starting in 2008. And yes, Black women are also victims of police brutality. Breonna Taylor and Sonya Massey. There is still dismissal on the parts of Chicago and Kansas City PD regarding serial murders of Black women of recent times.
However, Dr. Cheryl Neely also discussed the grassroot efforts and family members quest for both justice and keeping the memories of the young women fresh in the public mind. Their work is not in vain and it's very important for us to value their lives, their humanity in a world that denies both.
Thanks a million, Dr. Cheryl Neely for talking about this aspect of Black femicide that both media and law enforcement swept under the rug for centuries
