Don’t forget girls taken in Nigeria

- FAYETTEVIL­LE

I caught the Grammy Awards the other night. There were more than a few references made about “Hands up, don’t shoot” and “I can’t breathe,” but not a single mention of the almost 300 teenage girls in Nigeria brutally kidnapped, converted to Islam and forced into sexual slavery. I thought, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” (the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.). Evidently not. There was no mention of it by any of the big-name celebritie­s. Astonishin­g.
