Remember the 2011 case of Troy Davis, a black man whose Georgia execution sent black media into a frenzy after original witnesses in his murder trial recanted their testimonies, leading to significant doubt in Davis’ guilt?
forwp-incontent-ad1">As America watched the tragic case play out in front of the media, it was clear that Davis had overwhelming support from his family. Amongst those loved ones was his 17-year-old nephew, De’Juan Davis-Correia, who used his uncle’s run-in with the unjust criminal justice system, followed by the death of his mother, as motivation to create a better future for himself.
Now, ready to enter his second year as a student at Morehouse College, De’Juan is asking for support from the public to help him continue his education. The dean’s list student, who’s pursing a dual degree in engineering and physics, has started an Indiegogo campaign to help him raise enough money to finish his college education.
Thus far, the campaign has raised close to $2,500, with 15 days left to reach his goal of $5,000.
With every dollar making a difference, let’s rally together and show support in helping the young scholar achieve his educational dream.
