African Americans' long march toward equality

On Sunday, Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old black man, was shot seven times in the back as police tried to restrain him from entering his car in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Reportedly, his children watched this from inside the car.

The incident immediately reignited public fury against law-enforcers' excessive use of force against African-American people, just months after George Floyd's tragic death in Minneapolis in May, also a result of excessive use of force by the police.

Unfortunately, Jacob Blake may not be the last African American to pay with his life even if the investigation holds the police accountable for the tragedy.
