Her Fight, His Name: The Story of Gwen Carr and Eric Garner

Written By David Schnitzer

When Eric Garner is killed by NYPD officers on Staten Island in 2014, his mother, Gwen Carr, focuses her grief on fighting for justice for her son. Surrounded by photos of lost loved ones to restore her strength through memories, her yearslong fight with the NYPD and former New York Mayor, Bill de Blasio, drags on amid more family tragedy. Gwen’s fierce determination to achieve justice manifests as catalyst and comfort to Black mothers who have lost their sons to murder by law enforcement.
