About the Book
You’ve seen the headlines. You’ve heard the names. You’ve followed the hashtags, which trend for a moment but are soon quickly forgotten. This collection is one of reflection and remembrance of those persons whose voices have been silenced in death, have gone unheard, and for whom justice is yet being demanded.
