Dev Rock says:
In the times that we are facing everyday in 2015 we mourn the tragedies of Sandra Bland, Rekia Boyd, Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray and too many more. We feel the despair of our community. At such a divided time in America we remember the 60’s, the struggle that African Americans and all of Americans went through to get us where we are today. But just as we found out in 64’ that Change gon Come, so Hold On. “Hold On Tight, Freedom is rarely given” -DevRock
