“four lungs… one body, same skin.”

On July 10, 2015, Sandra Bland’s promising life took an unexpected turn when she was jailed following a confrontation with an officer during a routine traffic stop. The 28-year-old Bland had just moved back to Waller County, Texas, from Chicago and was on her way to the first day of a new job at her alma mater, Prairie View A&M University. Three days later, the Naperville, Illinois, native was found dead in her cell. News of the young woman’s arrest and subsequent death, which was ruled a suicide, together with dash-cam video of Texas State Trooper Brian Encinia and Bland went viral, igniting public protests and fanning the debate over police brutality. Years later, cell-phone video recorded by Bland emerged, which prompted a review. To date, no indictments have been forthcoming.
