ON THE ROAD Khadijah Hardaway met with the Till family in Memphis, TN at the Let the World See exhibit. Justice for Wyandotte is now an official partner with the University of Kansas to bring the exhibit to Kansas in 2025.

Nikki Richardson met with the Milwaukee Alliance Against Racial Political Repression and was invited to their national conference in Chicago, IL.

THE JOURNEY “John’s was only attempting to preserve his dignity. It was clear to the family's attorney for the body cam viewing, Lauren Bond from the National Police Accountability Project, that John was not reaching for a gun at this time and the police have yet to show any evidence to her or the family that a weapon was present on John's body.

How could shooting an unarmed man in the back 9 times be legal?”

THE IMPACT “Justice for Wyandotte gave me and my family hope when it came to getting results. Our brother's death showed my family that there is a bigger problem than just a cop killing a relative, that the system is extremely broken and needs to be fixed. We were shattered to learn that Kansas's current law doesn't recognize us as John's family. Justice for Wyandotte was with us every step of the way to get answers for what happened to our brother.”

-Eric Anderton, John’s brother
