“They continue to kill unarmed Black people over and over again,” he said.
At age 51, Ben Crump is in his prime. Crump said. “… I’m a person of faith, and I know who I am and whose I am. And no matter what people strive to me, I’m okay with it, because I’m fully focused on what my mission is.”
His mission? “It’s very simple: I’m an unapologetic defender of Black life, Black liberty, and Black humanity,” he said. “And that’s why I am proud to call myself a civil rights lawyer who believes that it’s about these romantic notions of liberty and justice for all.”
“I believe God has a purpose for me,” Crump continued, “and if I die fulfilling that purpose, then my life would not have been in vain. I do believe there has to be some things that a man is worth dying for. And the future of our children, to me, is worth dying for.”
