About the Author

Alula Hunsen is an undergraduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He writes about justice and culture.

Black communities have been disenfranchised, excluded, and robbed for the past century by the states and cities they’ve called home. What’s happening now is a fight for the redistribution of wealth, without which there can be no racial justice. And the protests have only just begun.
