A social media campaign called “Blackout for Nolan Wells” is urging participants to change their profile pictures and share Wells’ name to keep his story visible online. The campaign aims to remember Wells and show solidarity with his family as they seek answers about his death. Children’s educator Ms. Rachel is among those promoting the campaign on social media. The push for visibility comes after a Mississippi grand jury declined to bring criminal charges in connection with Wells’ death, prompting his family to continue seeking answers. The campaign seeks to keep Wells’ name and image in the public eye while his family seeks justice and resolution.
