Season 2, Episode 2: Damon

"I saw a lot of those beatings in my neighborhood with police officers that would come and terrorize the black neighborhood. The first time I saw it I had to be around 7 years old."

-Damon Damon shares his experience as a 69-year-old black man. What it was like to have learning differences as a child with minimal resources, and what it was like to be black growing up. He explains what he has overcome after being bullied by children and a systemically racist society. What it was like witnessing police brutality at a very young age. He continues to not feel safe because of how the world views him. He has been arrested for "walking while black," and describes the first time he had a gun drawn on him and the last time (we hope). This is just one person’s story. A person of color. ONE story. Please consider taking action and donating to one of the non-profits listed below.
