Short but impactful. This story is sad and paints a painful yet accurate description of how black boys are treated especially in America. It hurts even more knowing how young Jerome was (only 12) and all the other ghost boys too. I wish he had been able to talk to his family like how he talked to Sarah but I get that that wasn’t the point.
