Elijah McClain was an innocent 23-year-old boy who was murder during his short walk from the gas station to home on August 24, 2019. The police got a 911 call about a suspicious man wearing a ski mask.
McClain was wearing the mask because he was anemic patient and he was protecting himself from cold, according to Chaosandcomrades.com. People and the police consider black men wearing a mask as suspicious which leads to danger for many black lives.
Vickie Mays, professor at UCLA’s Fielding School of Public Health told STAT, “The first assumption wasn’t these are people protecting themselves and others around them from the virus, it was the assumption of stealing or some ill will. There is a quick judgment of what Black men are ‘up to.’”
