## Resource

An 18-year-old Black teen, Nolan Xavier Wells, died after a Fourth of July boat trip, sparking national outcry over racial injustice and police accountability. His funeral in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, featured Reverend Al Sharpton and civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who’s calling for a full investigation after alleging Wells was deliberately left behind — contradicting sheriff’s claims. Messages from his phone may have been deleted, and Crump plans to work with prosecutors to present evidence to a grand jury. Prominent figures like Tyler Perry, Colin Kaepernick, and Spike Lee are rallying behind the family, while the Congressional Black Caucus demands transparency. This tragedy underscores the daily realities Black Americans face — where trust in institutions is fragile, and every detail matters.
