“Electric Chair” by Nadia T. is a tragic, heart-wrenching poem of a young Native American.  Nadia’s work portrays an injustice done to a 14 year old boy accused of murdering two innocent young girls with no substantial evidence. 

This work can stand to remind us that America wasn’t always perfect and we are still working to make it that way.  In Nadia’s note she goes to mention that George Stinney was “exonerated by a South Carolina judge in December of 2014.”  It makes me happy to know that our generation and future generations try to right the wrongs done.  Even if the wrongs were not ours to fix we stepped up and became the better person.
