In the three years after her father’s death, Erica marched, rallied, advocated, got involved politically and wrote essays calling on prosecutors to release their findings from a three-year federal civil rights investigation by the Justice Department into her father’s death.
Erica and her family met with federal prosecutors last July to demand answers about her father’s case.
On Nov. 28, days before the three-year anniversary of the grand jury’s non-indictment in Garner’s case and just weeks before Erica’s passing, she wrote a letter articulating her frustration with the DOJ and the slow pace of the ongoing investigation.
In the meantime, we exclusively received Erica’s essay and have edited and published it below.
We are sharing it to ensure that Erica Garner’s voice is heard and her legacy lives on.
