His black female victims are invisible in the darkness until the police officer sees them. But film itself erases their existence by not bothering to show them as human as they truly are. When White supremacy goes unchecked, it becomes this delusional space that illuminates and occupies part of a society like film. For whiteness is the hidden accomplice that fosters the violence one sees onscreen.

About the Book
For Princeton’s Place has secrets of memories exposed through the current events and police records of a New York city story as its synchronicities emerge to fulfill this haunting tale. Remember, the darkest moment occurs when one must face alone, the self. “Another story grabs headlines after a shooting at and bombing of a Harlem Pentecostal church leaves six parishioners dead and five wounded (although the number of injured would later rise to 26). Tanisha discusses the tragedy with her editor and fellow reporters, particularly the crumbled note found at the scene that says: “Please forgive me.” This makes the third crime in the same neighborhood with a similar note left behind;” —Kirkus Reviews “We must tell our stories.” —Dr. Donna Clovis, Outstanding Book Award Winner 2019 for Quantum Leaps in Princeton’s Place.
