On November 27, 2014, during Thanksgiving Dinner, many people around the country mourned the lives of Blacks youth and others whose time was cut short due to police brutality and unjustified polce actions.
#Stolenlives went viral yesterday as the families of Michael Brown (atop) and Oscar Grant (shown above, his murder was the basis of Ryan Coogler's film Fruitvale Station) uploaded photos of empty seats at their dinner tables.
Other families soon followed suit...
