"There is no greater pain than the loss of a child, except the pain of a Black mother burying her son, gunned down by a white supremacist cop who goes unpunished." "For Such a Time as This" tells the story of an African American mother, who, driven by grief and anger, goes on a crusade to get justice from a corrupt judicial system. On a warm night in August 2014, a police officer acts as judge, jury, and executioner, and takes the life of Adrian Jackson's 21-year-old son Jared. Jared dies in his mother's arms. Despite weeks of public protest, the cop is not indicted. Distraught, she attempts to runaway from her pain and takes a trip abroad. It's in Brazil, that she meets Francisco Monserrate, the assassin who helps her vindicate the lives of the slain Black men across America by bringing their killers to justice. It's street justice, because the legal justice system failed to right those wrongs. But Adrian Jackson doesn't ask for permission, nor does she play by the rules. But you can bet, she will get even. One year of terror is all it takes to make things right. "For Such a Time as This," tells the gripping story of how loss fuels one mother's plight and changes the course of history forever. But American history books will never tell the story of how Adrian Jackson "Help the wicked see, by making the wicked feel" by immortalizing it in print.
