OUR STORY
On July 22, 2018, three African American sisters, Nia, Letifah and Tashiya Wilson, were attacked by a knife-wielding man, later identified as John Cowell, after exiting a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) train at MacArthur station in Oakland, California. 18-year-old Nia Wilson died after her throat was slashed. Her older sister, Letifah, was stabbed in the neck but survived.
The world went crazy when this unthinkable alleged hate crime went viral and left us all devastated by another horrific act of violence.
