Both Obvious and Profound

In October of 2014, Jennifer Gonnerman wrote in the New Yorker about the three-year incarceration of Kalief Browder for a crime he didn’t commit. Much of that time was in solitary confinement.  Browder told Gonnerman prison had changed him, and he feared danger everywhere.  Last week Kalief Browder committed suicide.  Ta-Nehisi Coates writes this:

Kalief Browder was an individual, which is to say he was a being with his own passions, his own particular joys, his own strange demons, his own flaws, his own eyes, his own mouth, his own original hands.

What if we always remembered this about everyone we meet?
RIP Kalief Browder.
