• Eric Garner's Staten Island Memorial Burned Down on MLK Day

    Last night, Jan. 19, a fire on Staten Island destroyed the makeshift tribute that was created for Eric Garner. His chokehold death attracted national attention and, when the police officer responsible was not indicted, it led to protests, tributes and commentary from across the country. Late last night, Garner's daughter Erica Garner began tweeting about the "evil" that had taken place at her father's memorial. It is obvious that the passing months have not eased the emotional upset his family has been through.
