On September 13, 2024, the world lost Javion McGee, a 21-year-old truck driver from Chicago, in a horrific and deeply disturbing way.
McGee’s body was found hanging from a tree in Henderson, North Carolina.
His death, though it occurred under suspicious circumstances, has yet to receive the attention it deserves from mainstream media.
It’s a story that echoes through the ages—a reminder of the violent and oppressive past that Black Americans have been forced to endure for centuries.
While McGee’s family is grieving and demanding answers, they are up against a system that has often turned a blind eye to the suffering and brutalization of Black lives.
