## Resource

A tragic death turns into a rallying cry for justice as 18-year-old Black teen Nolan Wells, found dead after a Fourth of July boat trip to Horn Island, will be honored in a powerful funeral led by Reverend Al Sharpton and his lawyer Ben Crump. The family, calling Nolan a “bright light,” chooses to celebrate his life — but the case has ignited national debate over race, trust in law enforcement, and systemic accountability. While authorities say Wells may have chosen to stay on the island, Crump alleges he planned to leave with his white friends and points to suspiciously deleted phone data. With major figures like Tyler Perry, Colin Kaepernick, and Spike Lee stepping in to support the family and push for answers, and the Congressional Black Caucus demanding transparency, this case is becoming a symbol of the urgent need to question every detail — especially when Black lives are at stake.
