In the early hours of February 4, 1999, a 23-year-old Guinean immigrant named Amadou Diallo born September 2, 1975 was shot and killed by four New York City Police Department plain-clothed officers-Sean Carroll, Richard Murphy, Edward McMellon, and Kenneth Boss. Carroll would later claim to have mistaken him for a rape suspect from one year earlier, though his claim was never confirmed by any objective evidence. The officers fired a combined total of 41 shots, 19 of which struck Diallo, outside his. This tape begins with a few seconds of footage from a nighttime protest outside the 70th precinct police station in Brooklyn. The main part of this tape is an interview with Monifa Akinwole-Bandele, National Coordinator of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement. She speaks about Amadou Diallo, an unarmed African man who was shot 41 times by four New York CIty Police officers in the doorway of his apartment in the South Bronx. She discusses the acquittal of the four officers, and the protests and violence that followed in its wake. The end of the tape is b-roll footage of the street outside of Amado.

Its been two decades since she got the other call at her home in Conakry, Guineas capital, informing her that a car full of police officers had fatally shot her son - shy, smart, sensitive Amadou - near his home. As soon as she found out about Amadous death, Aissatou returned to 1157 Wheeler Avenue, where the lobby walls were disfigured by the bullet holes, she said. Imagining her cousin sprawled and dying on the lobby floor, she fainted. At that point things were really bad for me, she told THE CITY, in her first English-language interview on the subject.
