I came across this very moving poem on Twitter.

Young poet, Jason Fotso, who is now a freshman at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, constructed a poem, Last Words, out of the letters that make up the words said by Eric Garner as he struggled with police in an arrest that was filmed by a bystander with a cell phone.  It’s creative and thought provoking.

Young voices needs to be heard!
