Miami, FL -- Meet Charles Michael Able, a Black Physicist who is entering the 7th week of a Hunger Strike to demand legislative action on racial justice by the United States Congress. He comments, “If in fact, we agree that Black people are disproportionately injured and killed because of these policies, then we need national legislation” to enact:
* A National Ban on Choke Holds
* A National Ban on No-Knock Warrants
* A Congressional Vote on Reparations Remedy Bill - HR 40 by both houses of Congress
Able says that his family is one of millions of Black families that have been negatively impacted for generations due to systemic racism, inequality in the workplace, unconstitutional laws, bias policies, and racism in the justice system. “This harm has been financial, emotional, and physical. From the time my grandfather struggled to find a good-paying job to provide for his family and out of necessity had to migrate from the south to the north, in order to work and live.”
