Black History 365 | # 175 Eric Garner

March 26, 2025

This is Eric Garner. Remember Eric Garner? July 2014, Eric Garner, a 43-year-old Black man was killed by New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers, including Daniel Pantaleo, who applied a chokehold to the neck of Eric Garner. Before dying, Mr. Garner was able to say 11 times that he could not breathe. His death was one of several fatal encounters that catalyzed the Black Lives Matter movement. The police officers there including the one who killed him suspected that he was selling loose, untaxed cigarettes on the street. Mr. Garner is one of the approximately 1,000 men, women, and children killed by police violence each year, and a disproportionate number of victims of police violence are Black. Rest in peace Eric Garner. May God watch over us all.
