Garner's death in 2014 sparked nationwide protests and helped to bring attention to the issue of police brutality against black people. Carr has since become a vocal advocate for police reform, and she has met with elected officials and law enforcement leaders to discuss ways to prevent future tragedies.
In a recent interview with The New York Times, Carr said that she is still haunted by her son's death. She said that she thinks about him every day, and she wants to make sure that his death was not in vain.
"I want to see justice for Eric," Carr said. "I want to see the officers who killed him held accountable. And I want to see changes made so that no other family has to go through what we have gone through."
Carr's quest for justice has been a long and difficult one. The officer who placed Garner in a chokehold, Daniel Pantaleo, was fired from the NYPD, but he was never criminally charged. The city of New York settled a wrongful death lawsuit with Carr for $5.9 million, but Carr said that no amount of money can bring her son back.
Despite the setbacks, Carr has remained steadfast in her pursuit of justice. She has testified before Congress, spoken at rallies, and met with President Barack Obama. She has also started a foundation in her son's name to provide support to other families who have lost loved ones to police violence.
Carr's story is a powerful reminder of the impact of police brutality. It is also a story of hope and resilience. Carr has shown that even in the face of tragedy, it is possible to fight for justice and make a difference in the world.
