Tyre Nichols’ death is a reminder that the fight against racism is not over

Reflecting on the death of Tyre Nichols at the hands of Black police officers, Natalie Zuze exhorts Christians everywhere to keep challenging the internalised anti-Blackness that allows such tragedies to occur

“I’m just trying to go home!”

Those are the words the 29-year-old Black man Tyre Nichols screamed at police officers as they pinned him to the ground in what was meant to be a routine traffic stop.

Instead, it ended with him being beaten and brutally murdered by the same police officers. What’s even more upsetting is that the police officers were Black.
