My name is Damarco and I was a senior at Luke C. Moore High School in Washington, DC when he wrote his book. I enjoy basketball and making clothing. I’ll be dropping a new clothing line soon, and I hope you’ll check it out! This is my first book. I hope that this story will provide all our readers some understanding of the impact of police violence.

by Damarco, Emilie, and Japan of Reach Incorporated

Damarco, Emilie, and Japan wanted to write a story about how friends can disagree and move through disagreements about important issues. Cody and Nene are best friends, and they have been all their lives. But when the Black Lives Matter protests erupt in response to police violence, they realize they may not be so alike after all. While Nene defends cops like her uncle — “Not all cops are like that!” — Cody gets more and more upset about injustice. This movement will put their friendship to the test, and may push them into separate corners just when they need each other most. Can they learn to hear each other out and mend their friendship?
