"This is a revolution! This is what a democracy looks like! We have over a thousand people out here. This is a beautiful sight to see! Stay encouraged!"

Letha talks about Patrick Kimmons the man. A good man, despite all the shit they talk How he was a good father, a good provider. How he took classes at PCC. She raised him right, and he raised his kids right too Patrick Kimmons' young child stands next to his grandmother

Yes, she says, he was gang affiliated. It doesn't mean he was a bad man This is really important, I think. We throw people's souls away, dismiss them as valueless, for all kinds of bullshit reasons We are all human

Letha talks about her terror that something will happen to her other child. This, not the cops, is what she fears

"you don't know what I've been going through. There's so many times I've wanted to give up. Two years, I've wanted to give up." She is crying. Her pain is unfathomable "Well I'm not going anywhere and I'm not giving up!!" The crowd roars

"retraining is no longer the issue! Reform is not the issue! Fire these motherfuckers one by one and don't rehire them!"

"I'm gonna keep marching! I'm gonna keep chanting! I'm gonna keep fighting!" The crowd chants it with her. Fired up

Letha Winston urges the crowd to come out and march with her down MLK every Thursday, 10AM to 2PM For more info: https://instagram.com/justiceforpatrickkimmons?igshid=t5i64i65r1yv …
