Description
When You Look Like Us- brown skin, brown eyes, black braids or fades- everyone else thinks you’re trouble. No one takes a second look at a missing black girl from public housing because she must’ve brought whatever happened to her upon herself. I, Jay Murphy, can admit that, for a minute, I thought my sister, Nicole, got too caught up with her drug-dealer boyfriend and his friends. But she’s been gone too long…
If I hadn’t hung up on her that night, if I was a better brother, she’d be finishing senior year instead of being another name on a missing persons list.
So it’s time to step up, to do what the Newport News police department won’t: Bring her home.
