Black and Blue
Many African American Police Officers, bring honor to this profession as they try to serve their communities.
When their “Blue” bothers commit terrible crimes against African Americans, Black officers are torn between their allegiance to their department versus their love of the people in the communities they serve.
Each large and small star represent police badges of large and small police departments.
Each badge is ripped in the center representing the inner turmoil of police officers of color as they work with their Blue Brothers.
This is the second piece I submitted to We Are the Story with Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi.
