One of the most prominent female figures in the Black Panther Party was Angela Davis, a human rights activist, professor and cultural icon.

2 years ago today, on November 22, 2014, Tamir Rice was shot by the police for playing with a toy gun sitting on the swing in a city park in Cleveland, Ohio.
Police officer Timothy Loehmann fired two shots, one of the shots hit Tamir in his torse which resulted in him dying the following day.
Tamir would have turned 14 years old earlier this year - on June 25. But he was killed by a cop who was never held accountable for the murder.
We will never forget you #TamirRice. Rest in peace, sweet angel.
