“We salute you for the courage it took to stand up for yourself in the court of public opinion, even though you shouldn’t have done so at all,” the letter said.
“We are raising our voices against those who have ignored this heinous example of violence against women and will soften them with our demands that society take seriously what is happening to black women. You’re not alone. You are believed, loved and supported,” he continued.
