Young Black Men Are Missing in DC, Too, and They’re Not Coming Home as Quickly
Young black men in America are also in danger, however, even though black missing girls caught media’s attention, black missing boys and men haven’t. Thousands of Black men, women, and children are missing. That number could be as high as into the millions. Along with the 64,000 black women that are missing, their are 1.5 million missing black men.
And media mostly stays silent about this.
Even in our own community, there’s been an absence of widespread urgency about their cases.
In the approximately two weeks since the start of April, three black boys have been reported missing. Their photos have circulated in fewer spaces. Tweets and posts containing information about them have been shared noticeably less often. (x)
Fifteen-year-old Zyaire Flemmings, 14-year-old Navaras Johnson and 23-year-old Dionte Monk have all been missing since February, and 17-year-old Kejuan Sellman disappeared in October 2016. Seventeen-year-old Clayton Carter has been on the MPD’s list of critical missing persons the longest this year, last seen in the Southeast quadrant of the city on Jan. 11, 2017. As of Monday morning, 10 black boys and young men are missing from Washington, D.C., and one, 24-year-old Christian Muse, who disappeared five years ago, is missing from neighboring Prince George’s County.
And these are only few cases of missing black boys.
If you can help your community-do it. Don’t just stay aside.
Police are searching for two critically missing D.C. girls who disappeared Saturday.
D.C. Police say cousins Mi'easha Callaway, 16, and Timyea Callaway, 10, were last seen together at around 10:30 p.m. in the 500 block of Madison Street NW.
Police describe Timyea as standing 4 feet tall and weighing 98 pounds with black dreadlocks. She was last seen wearing a black shirt with pink pants with the word “love” written on them.
Police describe Mi'easha as standing 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 125 pounds with read and black braided hair. She was last seen wearing white Micky Mouse pajamas with a grey coat.
If you have any type of information about these girls-call the police. It’s our duty to help!
You know how dangerous it might be for two black girls all alone in a big city.
