“None of us are who we were at 19,” writes the author, Lt. LaSheda Brooks. “My father is no exception. Now he has been in prison for 28 years, more than half of his life.” Picture is the Vienna Correctional Center in Vienna, Illinois.

My dad, Antonio House, received a sentence of death by imprisonment when he was just 19 years old. Now he is 46 with a 13-year-old granddaughter.

Last year, we witnessed another crushing blow in the fight to end police violence against Black people. Only one of the three officers involved in the murder of Breonna Taylor was charged in the case.

The three officers responsible for the murder of Breonna Taylor are not the first to walk free after killing an unarmed Black person, and unfortunately, especially if things continue as they are, they will not be the last. Things continuing as they are, includes the decision to only charge one Louisville police officer for the destruction of property, which sends the message that Black lives do not mat
