Zianna urges end to gun violence in the US

The picture tells the story. It is sad. It has been for the past decades. Police shooting of African-Americans. African-American protests. Days of silence and the circle continues again.

A young Charlotte girl, Zianna Oliphant climbed stood at the podium before Charlotte City Council meeting and delivered an emotional message to all Americans following the seventh day of protests of African-Americans being killed by police officers.

"It's a shame that our fathers and mothers are killed and we can't see them anymore," Zianna said with tears streaming down her face.

"It's a shame that we have to go to their graveyard and bury them. And we have tears. We shouldn't have tears. We need our fathers and mothers to be by our side."
