Community Revolution Pt. 2: Corrupted Justice

“Community Revolution, Pt. 2-Corrupted Justice” is an odyssey which spans the lifetime of Stephen J. Williams a.k.a. Li’l Romeo. From his tumultuous infancy to his early introduction to crime and the gang he would be inextricably affiliated with over the course of his life, where the streets of his neighborhood became his college, teaching him how to master all of the nefarious criminal elements endemic within his social class environment, leading to his eventual induction into the criminal justice system where he would become further indoctrinated and educated, spending long hours studying a myriad of historical, political, and social topics and developing a passion for law. Armed with knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, Stephen evolved, becoming a revolutionary advocate for change, progress, and success within the realm of a corrupt judicial system, placing a target on his back and leading to him being framed and railroaded into prison for life under California’s infamous “Three Strikes” Law. In many ways, this story is the mirror reflection of a vast majority of Black people growing up in the inner-city urban communities across America, whose life experience can be viewed through his lens. This is the Black experience.
