In September of 2014 the Baltimore Ravens were faced with a dilemma when their star running back, Ray Rice, was face charges of domestic violence against his girlfriend (Gonchar, npg.).

More specifically they were going to a Denver Broncos football game between the Broncos and the Oakland Raiders. I was in the vehicle with my Mom, Dad, and some family friends whose names were Martin and Michelle.

tells the officer that he cannot breath and the officer doesn’t listen and just keeps choking him until he passed away.

This play was a precise indictment of the oppression and slavery blacks had to face through the making of America. The author George C.
