The Vital Role of Black Jurors by Tara Moss
"The Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides the right for individuals to be tried by their peers, but as the stats show this is not the case for Blacks. So as a Black person, I feel a duty to show up for those who can’t afford to and to make sure that my peers are tried fairly." http://realchangenews.org/2017/04/19/directors-corner-vital-role-black-jurors
