Black Angels.

They won’t mourn you. They won’t remember you. They won’t hurt for your families. 

But those of us that look like you, filled with melanin like you, and know the struggle of simply being black in America…..we remember you. We mourn you, hurt for your families. You’ll forever be etched into the discriminatory history of our people. 

Black kings and queens. Live forever. 

Black Angels.
