Last month a lot of attention was on D.C. for what was seen as an epidemic into missing black girls. At first it was being ignored and then the media took it and flew, D.C. called a townhall meeting and it was being taken seriously.

But this month…. at least as far as I can tell… Crickets… nothing to be heard.

So we decided to keep highlighting this, we shouldn’t let it go. Some think it’s related to human trafficking, some say it’s for organ stealing but in all reality it’s probably related to poverty, lack of education and the general way black women are abused in American society for the most part.

BUT whatever it is, it needs attention and these girls, women and men who are going missing need to be found and their terrible situations need our attention and help.

In April until today, 26th April, I counted 38 black women and girls reported missing on the D.C. Police Twitter profile. A handful of black men and very few white people also went missing and all can be seen below.

Some of these black women and girls have been located, as well as some of the others but a lot are still missing.

Below is the DC Police’s feed for missing and located persons from April 1st – April 26th 2017.
