Thanks to Jr. CB/WR Blake Simpson for leading this march today! Thanks to the players, coaches, administrators, and especially the students who participated! I also want to thank TPD and FAMUPD for assisting with today's peaceful protest! #BlackLivesMatter #FAMUly #LeaveNoDoubt pic.twitter.com/2LKmK6WWYh— Coach Willie Simmons (@HCWillieSimmons) August 29, 2020
Can someone please explain to me why you would need to handcuff someone who is paralyzed from the waist down to a hospital bed?— Coach Willie Simmons (@HCWillieSimmons) August 28, 2020
Placing shackles around the feet of Jacob Blake amounted to a physical reminder that he was still, no matter the protests, a n*gger in the eyes of these policemen. Baldwin was right: when it comes to policing in this country black people still live under the slave codes.— Eddie S. Glaude Jr. (@esglaude) August 29, 2020

Out of the Mouth of a Son!
So Chadwick Boseman and the Black Panther character was my son's favorite by a mile....so this morning when we discussed it he said 'How did he die? Did the police do it? Did he have coronavirus?' Damn man....he's 8 😔— John Cannady (@John_Cannady) August 29, 2020
