Third Protest Highlights Unanswered Questions in Rasheem Carter Case
In 2023, the Israel United in Christ (IUIC) organization actively participated in protests seeking justice for Rasheem Carter, a 25-year-old Black man whose dismembered remains were found in Mississippi in late 2022. Carter had previously reported being targeted by white men in his community before his disappearance.
On April 29, 2023, IUIC members joined Carter’s family and other supporters in a significant march through Taylorsville, Mississippi, demanding a thorough investigation into his death. The protest drew national attention, highlighting concerns over the handling of the case by local authorities and the need for transparency and accountability.
The IUIC’s involvement underscored the broader community’s call for justice and the importance of addressing systemic issues related to race and law enforcement in the region.
