“The press is so powerful in its image-making role, it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. This is the press, an irresponsible press. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” - Malcolm X

Cherish Smith, 7, giggles as her mother playfully showers her with a heap of leaves, Thursday, Oct. 20, 2016, in Chicago. Cherish and her mother, Zerlina, were gathered at Chicago Police headquarters for a memorial rally honoring the life of Laquan McDonald. McDonald, a 17-year-old, was shot and killed by a Chicago Police officer Oct. 20, 2014. “McDonald was one of a record-high 11 youths killed while in the Department of Children and Family Services’ care during a two year period,” the @chicagotribune reported last month. #fall #leaves #blackgirljoy #everydayblackamerica #chicago #laquanmcdonald #blackyouth (at Chicago Police Headquarters 35th and Michigan.)
