Margaret Kimberley · Two Black Martyr’s Mothers Confront Black Lives Matter

Samaria Rice, mother of Tamir Rice, the 12 year-old killed by Cleveland cops in 2014, has teamed up with Lisa Simpson, mother of Richard Risher, the 18 year-old gunned down by Los Angeles police in 2016, to demand accountability from the cash-rich Black Lives Matter organization. “Those people got $90 million, and all they did was uplift” police victims’ names, but “took care of no communities and no families.” The mothers are demanding a meeting with Patrisse Cullors and Tamika D. Mallory to address a whole range of proposals on the future of the Black liberation movement.
