  • Great coverage on Nolan Wells and staying on this story

    Thank you for staying on top of this heartbreaking story.

    Mississippi has a history of ruling the death of our Black children as ‘suicides’, unless we keep pushing for independent investigations. Look at the hanging of Trey Reed at Delta State University that they ruled a suicide.

    There are too many killings of our Black children going unnoticed.
