By Mohammed Khaku JEH is a stain on American History! Tear down his name from American History. His Name should be removed from FBI buildings. “Being American is more than a pride we inherit. It’s the past we step into and how we repair it.” Poet Amanda Gorman February being the Black history month and with the rise of police brutality, I think it is an appropriate time for me to pin the below column.
