“Good Morning America" Digital brought together seven mothers, who have all lost a son or daughter to police brutality or gun violence, for a deeply personal conversation with ABC News' Deborah Roberts. The mothers extensively discuss their shared mournful bond, and their journeys and sacrifices as Black mothers in America. The mothers include Wanda Cooper Jones, Michelle Kenney, Allison Jean, Samaria Rice, Sybrina Fulton, Gwen Carr and Tamika Palmer whose children were Ahmaud Arbery, Antwon Rose, Botham Jean, Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and Breonna Taylor, respectively. In the conversation, “Their Painful Bond: Black Mothers Speak Out Together on Unimaginable Loss,” the women open up about their children’s lives, their tragic deaths, their legacies, and what justice means to them amid the current movement.
