"The Legacy of Arthur Miller and the Brooklyn Movement 45 Years Later" In the heart of Brooklyn, two pivotal events unfolded, leaving an indelible mark on the community and igniting a movement that reverberated far beyond its borders. The stories of Randy Evans and Arthur Miller resonate as powerful symbols of injustice and resilience, driving the fight for change. 
It was November 1976 when a single gunshot shattered the life of Randy Evans, a bright and promising 15-year-old Black youth, at the hands of a white NYPD officer. The ensuing trial in November 1977, with its shocking verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity, sparked an unyielding fury within the community. It was in that moment of collective anger that four remarkable individuals emerged as leaders -former Assemblyman Al Vann, the late Dr. Sam Pinn, the late Mr. Jitu Weusi, and the unwavering voice of Rev. Dr. Herbert Daughtry. 
United under the banner of Concerned Leaders and Citizens to Save Our Youth, these trailblazers initiated a citywide economic boycott known as Black Christmas '77. Their mission was clear: confront the business community, challenge the courts, and demand accountability from the city government. 
But their aspirations reached far beyond seeking justice for Randy Evans and Arthur Miller. They sought to create a movement that would uplift, empower, and forever change the lives of Black people. 
After months of steadfast commitment, their unwavering determination led to a remarkable breakthrough. The business community, confronted by the collective strength of the movement, acquiesced to their ten demands. Among these concessions were the establishment of the Randolph Evans Crisis Fund and the Randolph Evans Scholarship Fund, forever preserving the memory of Randy and ensuring that his legacy would be one of hope and opportunity. 
But this movement was not merely about tangible victories. Through the tragedies of Randy Evans and Arthur Miller, whose life was tragically extinguished by a chokehold on June 14, 1978, a flame was ignited-a flame that illuminated the path towards true empowerment. Rev. Dr. Herbert Daughtry and his comrades forged a movement that resonated with the resilience, strength, and indomitable spirit of the Black community.
