⚖️ The Historic KCPD Murder Trial Starts TOMORROW

1. This is one of the most anticipated trials in United States history. Family members of George Floyd and Jacob Blake are attending the trial to support the Lamb family and advocate for justice. The trial is open to the public and officials are expecting it to be filled to capacity.

2. This is the FIRST TIME in the 147 year history of KCPD that a white cop is on trial for the murder of a Black person.

3. The cop on trial is KCPD Cop Eric DeValkenaere, for the 2019 murder of Cameron Lamb. The night of the murder, DeValkenaere responded to a traffic call near Lambs house - with no warrant and in civilian clothes, DeValkenaere trespassed onto Lamb’s property, did not announce himself, then viciously shot 4 bullets at Lamb, murdering him on his own property and before he was even aware the officers were present. Due to the fact DeValkenaere had no reason to be on Lamb’s property, many describe it as an Ex*****on.

4. This is a landmark case and will set the standard for if KCPD is held accountable or if they will be allowed to continue senselessly murdering Black people with no consequences.

5. Eric Devalkenaere is facing charges of first-degree involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action.

WHEN & WHERE 👇🏾

The trial of KCPD Cop Eric DeValkenaere, begins TOMORROW at 8am at the Jackson County Courthouse. Community Members will have a presence both inside and outside the courthouse.

HISTORY OF AFRICAN DESCENDANTS -
General History

1526: "Africans accompany Spanish colonizer Lucas Vásquez de Ayllón on his expedition northward on the Florida peninsula; a settlement, San Miguel, is erected within the borders of what is present-day Georgetown, SC; the colony lasts only one year, as over half of the Spanish die; the Africans eventually revolt, set fire to the settlement, and settle among Native Americans; these AFRICANS are the FIRST non-Native Americans to LIVE PERMANENTLY in the Western Hemisphere"

"A nascent misleadership class threatens our communities by inculcating them with respectability values. Psuedo-radicals promote change through institutional politics and reformation. Our communities suffer from economic malnutrition, spiritual degradation, miseducation, and occupation by fascist pigs. Only through radical ideologies and actions will we be able to reverse this damage."

What is YOUR definition of White Supremacy?
Tell The Black Tribune in the comments below.

"Let me pause and say, that if my continued use of the words “racism” and “racist” make white readers uncomfortable, this is proof of white fragility. “White fragility” is a defensive response to real conversations about race and to have a real conversation about race–we need to talk about racism. As creators and enforcers of white supremacy, we are responsible for its dismantling."

"A Hispanic student recorded her conversation with Meraz, the Assistant Vice President (AVP) of Multicultural Services. This conversation consisted of inappropriate remarks to her and prejudice towards the African-American students and the MRC. Meraz referred to the MRC as a “hostile area to anyone who is not black …and they articulate that very well”. He also stated, in reference to the African-American students, that “They look at me like I owe them money, and I don’t owe them sh*t!”"

"These Black Youtubers dedicate a lot of time in documenting their growth on the shared experiences of Black Womanhood. Reassuring us that self love, acceptance, and fulfillment is not a journey you have to take by yourself. We are all connected, so never be afraid to be inspired or to inspire!"

“The Black community has stood next to the Palestinian community in their time of need. The events in Ferguson exposed that the repressive tactics that law enforcement use here was from training they received in Israel.”
