Brad Will.
In memory of a hero,
Brad Will was a passionate, adventurous activist and independent journalist.
The tragedy and perfection of a man who died for what he believed in. Murdered on the streets doing what he loved. Journaling the injustice of a country not of his own. He believed in Men and the rights he knew they deserved. His heroism and courage has left a profound imprint in my heart.
Will seemed to be at the center of every major ruckus: the WTO protests in Seattle, police raids on squats in New York City, tree-sitting actions in Oregon, anti-globalization marches in Quebec, Genoa, and Prague, and more recently, documenting struggles for justice in Latin America.
Will was murdered by police thugs in Oaxaca, in an effort to terrorize the people who were fighting to throw a corrupt dictator out of office. Journalist to the end, Will had his camera in hand and rolling as the bullets struck him, and he managed to document his own horrific murder.
