Courageous Conversation®’s Post

The case of Marcellus Williams, who faces execution in Missouri despite DNA evidence proving his innocence, highlights the consistent patterns of systemic racism within our justice system. His conviction was based on unreliable witness testimony and a lack of physical evidence. Despite evidence proving his innocence, the Missouri Attorney General’s office continues to try to block this evidence. Since the founding of this country, the burden of proving innocence for Black individuals has remained unjustly high. Historic biases have perpetuated the unfair belief that Black people are inherently criminal, undermining their right to equal protection under the law. These patterns aren’t new to Missouri and keep emerging, demonstrating the urgent need for police reform and a fairer legal system. We must expose these injustices and have a Courageous Conversation® to bring equality and justice for all.
