Below is the press release that I wrote and sent to news outlets on behalf of the Everette Howard family. We stood with the family at the protest. We made signs, we let our voices be heard.
If you call me an agitator - also mention that I am a drum major for justice. Every movement needs people to shake the status quo. We protested and we shined the flashlight on this tragedy. Tears flowing from my eyes.

NOTHING can bring Everette back but a settlement and changes means that he did not die in vein. Tears.
Without this blog, my voice would the flashlight be on the Cincinnati NAACP? Would there be a Cincinnati NAN chapter? Somebody had to speak up? Did you? Yep, I'm a drum major-- call me what you want because ACTION speaks louder than words.
