During a protest in Omaha, Nebraska, a young protestor, James Scurlock, was murdered at the hands of a known bigot, James Gardner. Scurlock was protesting in the Old Market on May 30th, when a fight broke out amongst the crowd and a confrontational Gardner shot and killed Scurlock. The District Attorney has since refused to press any charges, alleging that Gardener was acting out of self-defense.

“I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually,” James Baldwin wrote in “Notes of a Native Son.” The 1955 essay collection featured the writer’s searing critiques of the deep racial injustice etched into the DNA of a nation that had continuously rejected him because of his skin color. The sentiment behind Baldwin’s words — that American patriotism necessitates that we confront inequality — has since been echoed by activists, writers and filmmakers across decades.
