The Hollow Echoes of Justice in Mississippi The investigation into the death of 18 year old Nolan Wells has revealed a disturbing pattern: the erasure of young Black lives from national consciousness.
Two friends who were on Horn Island with Wells spoke out recently, shedding light on events leading up to his body being found two days after he went missing on July Fourth.
Wells' case is tragic – an 18 year old's life cut short in a place meant for adventure and recreation. But the way this incident has been reported, or rather not reported at all, is equally disturbing.
