Joe Biden, as President of the United States you have taken an oath to protect the people of this country. You have taken an oath to rightfully serve everyone equally and prevent wrongdoings. You were very outspoken on racial justice for black Americans and we have yet to see any changes occur. This is your opportunity to start to make right by your promises to make a better America for Black Americans. Kevin Strickland deserves a presidential pardon expeditiously.

Kevin Strickland has been wrongfully arrested for a crime key witnesses and the admitted killers said he did not commit. He’s been behind bars for over 40 years. He was accused of being responsible for a triple homicide that has been proven multiple times he  did not commit. He was convicted by an all white jury, there were black jurors on the case to begin with and all of them were striked. The Kansas City police department forced Cynthia Douglas to accuse Kevin of committing the crime. She as an eyewitness admitted to this and also admitted he did not commit this crime.

Mr President as a Black first generation American myself I know first hand that this country has not done people that look like me good at all since the inception of this country. You yourself have admitted that there are injustices done towards people like myself and Kevin Strickland. If you truly meant what you said by telling us black Americans that you’d support us then you will do everything in your power as leader of this country to make this a good place for black Americans. It is with much importance that you review this case and do the right thing, pardon Kevin Strickland.
