Jan 25th 2 - 3:30 p.m. AUTHOR TALK: BLACK FEMALE CRIME VICTIMS. Join the Detroit Public Library to welcome Cheryl L. Neely for an important discussion about her book, No Human Involved: The Serial Murder of Black Women and Girls and the Deadly Cost of Police Indifference (Beacon Press, 2025). When Black women and girls are targeted and murdered their cases are often categorized by police officers as “N.H.I.” — “No Humans Involved.” Dehumanized and invisible to the public eye, they are rarely seen as victims. In the United States, Black women are killed at a higher rate than any other group of women, but their victimhood is not covered by the media and their cases do not receive an adequate level of urgency. Joining Cheryl in conversation is author and former high-profile criminal defense attorney Tana Jenkins. Click HERE to register.
