AFRICANGLOBE – Sandra Bland — who died in jail after being arrested over failure to use her blinker — became the symbol of America’s horrific problems of in-custody deaths over ridiculous arrests. Now, after nearly four years and no indictments, we are learning that Bland filmed her own arrest that fateful day and her video has been suppressed ever since.

This! @mumufresh !! “3 years ago today, July 13th 2015 a Black woman by the name of Sandra Bland was found dead, hanged in a Texas jail cell in police custody. Her death was quickly written off as a suicide although some evidence suggested otherwise. Her story haunted me for almost a year before I wrote this song in her honor. I wrote the 1st part of this song in a 1960s doo wop style as a libation to her life and death. I wrote the song in first person in hopes of evoking some human empathy for her story even if your life experiences haven’t allowed you the ability to relate personally. I wanted each listener to ask themselves “what if it were me”? What if it were my loved one? Wouldn’t I want understanding? Empathy? Compassion? Justice? Wouldn’t I want you to remember my name, my life, my legacy, my love? #Morethanjustahashtag #neveragain #youarenotforgotten Listen to this clip we performed on @nprmusic #TinyDesk of our song #SayMyName a tribute to #sandrabland “ - words and singing by @mumufresh #sandrablandcoverup #justice #thevintagebabies #tinydesk #RIP #ripsandrabland #artist #art #music

Sandra Bland was a 28-year-old African American woman who was found hanged in a jail cell in Waller County, Texas, on July 13, 2015, three days after being arrested during a pretextual traffic stop. Her death was ruled a suicide. It was followed by protests against her arrest, disputing the cause of death, and alleging racial violence against her. Bland was pulled over for a minor traffic violation on July 10 by State Trooper Brian Encinia. The exchange escalated, resulting in Bland's arrest and charge for assaulting a police officer. The arrest was partially recorded by Encinia's dashcam, a bystander's cell phone, and Bland's own cell phone. After authorities reviewed the dashcam footage, Encinia was placed on administrative leave for failing to follow proper traffic stop procedures. Texas authorities and the FBI conducted an investigation into Bland's death and determined the Waller County jail did not follow required policies, including time checks on inmates and ensuring that employees had completed required mental health training. In December 2015, a grand jury declined to indict the county sheriff and jail staff for a felony relating to Bland's death. The following month, Encinia was indicted for perjury for making false statements about the circumstances surrounding Bland's arrest and he was subsequently fired by the Texas Department of Public Safety. In September 2016, Bland's mother settled a wrongful death lawsuit against the county jail and police department for $1.9 million and some procedural changes. In June 2017, the perjury charge against Encinia was dropped in return for his agreement to permanently end his law enforcement career. #ripsandrabland👼🏾 #wedidntforgetyou #stopkillingus #stopracialprofiling #stophatingonus #inlovingmemory #nojusticenopeace✊🏾 #sandrabland #freedomisntfree #gonebutneverforgotten💔 https://www.instagram.com/p/CA5MD90pgtG/?igshid=7hoofpxwcl8i

#Repost @toureshow with @get_repost ・・・ I asked Patrisse Cullors @osopepatrisse if one of the deaths she’s protested had a deeper, more pernicious impact on her than the others. Patrisse said the death of Sandra Bland was the hardest for her. That was the one that has most haunted her. Happy 31st bday Sandra Bland. Wish you were here to celebrate it and to smoke and to drive and to live your life however you wanted. America is about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness... if you’re white. If you’re Black you get a very different America. You get an America that’s not sure if you’re a full American or even a full human. You get an America that lacks a fundamental respect for your body. An America that idolizes Blacks with athletic or artistic talent and tosses away many others. Sandra Bland got killed by that America that doesn’t respect Black bodies. We’re trying to end that America. Join us. #sandrabland #sayhername #blacklivesmatter --- #ripsandrabland #resist

Everything about this powerful image captivated me, and like many other artists before me, I felt inspired to pay homage with my pen to him & what he represented from that point on. As artists, activists, poets, educators & journalists we share in the pursuit of the truth... or at least in our responsibility to present the #truth, so I believe that we have a duty to not only our communities, but to one another... especially when we fall. The light from the torches of the fallen mustn't dim or burn out, but burn even brighter... even higher. We have to continue 👑🔥#asweproceed My condolences & deepest sympathies to his loved ones & family, especially his four daughters.

If her whiteness doesnt protect her why she wasnt one of the ppl to raise her hands to willingly switch lives with a black person?

I don't see white women disappearing while the cops refuse to actually look for them

I don't see white women being strung up by the cops for "not putting on their blinker" #RIPSandraBland

I dont see white women being told to get over their childs unjust death like they did Tamir Rice's mom

And for all intents and purposes your whiteness has protected YOU because that comment alone proves you not only don't care about peolle that have a different struggle than you but that you don't even think about them when you speak.

If you think a cis white woman is the person lacking some of the most privilege in this country you have not been paying attention.
