8220;She Could’ve Been My Sister” The Mysterious Death of Sandra Bland. July 29, 2015. Over the last few weeks, I’ve followed the coverage of the arrest and mysterious death of Sandra Bland. She could’ve been my sister…. For the rest of the day, “she could’ve been my sister” replayed in my head. It’s not that I hadn’t considered it myself, but I hadn’t allowed myself to fully acknowledge it until that moment. 8221; I sat next to him silently hoping that we would make it back to a main highway before havi...

When I think about the nine families in South Carolina. As I read about the number of Black churches. Is the past repeating itself? Absolutely, but it also never rea...
