When I am not thinking about covid today, I will be remembering my first cousin who was killed by the police in PA doing a mental health wellness check last year. More to say than I will on Twitter, but he is my daily reminder that policing in this country is deeply broken.
Osagie was fatally shot by a State College police officer one year ago.

Our legal victory in Brown v. Board of Education did not transform the country overnight, and much work remains today to desegregate public school education.
Today, we're celebrating #WorldBookDay & getting ready for the 70th anniversary of Brown with this essential list.
Thank you all for this important conversation. Grateful to students @ColumbiaLaw, and to @BrownsPromise and @NAACP_LDF.
