Anyone who has heard of it??

“When I saw the news about Nolan Wells, the 18-year-old football player who went missing after a Fourth of July party with a group of white friends on an island off the Mississippi coast, my first thought was immediate. He was probably unsafe,” writes Ashley Stoney. We don’t yet know what happened to Wells, and we may never know. None of his friends have been accused of wrongdoing or charged with a crime. “Meanwhile, my Facebook feed can talk of basically nothing else but this case. Why? It’s clear that Wells’s unfortunate death struck a nerve with me and my Black peers who have lived and parented through the token Black experience,” continues Stoney. “Unless you’ve been the only Black person in the room, it can be hard to understand. Many who have had these experiences decide that their children won’t have the same trajectory. That’s not always possible.” “What kinds of experiences do our kids have when we aren’t around? Who will protect us when no one is looking?” Read Stoney’s full essay on why Wells’s death has unnerved so many Black parents: nymag.visitlink.me/N8bVdU
