It's not like O. J. Simpson was the leader of the civil rights movement of his era, you know? He wasn't a social leader. But he represented something for the Black community in that moment, in that trial, particularly because there were two White people who had been killed, said Allison.
There was racial tension then, there is racial tension now. It might not be the backdrop of the Trump campaign, but until this country is ready to actually have an honest conversation about the racial dynamics from our origin story until today, we will always have moments like O.J. Simpson that manifest.
