RowVaughn Wells is one of several people who came into the national spotlight after recent violence in America. Her son, Tyre Nichols, was fatally beaten by Memphis police officers, sparking outrage in the Tennessee community and across the United States.
Wells, however, made a plea to angered communities to stay peaceful when protesting. In 2020, protests over the death of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police turned to violence and rioting in certain places.The distraught mother also made headlines after expressing sympathy for her son's killers.
Wells will attend President Joe Biden's State of the Union address with Nichols's stepfather, Rodney, after accepting an invitation from Rep. Steven Horsford , chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus. The City of Memphis released footage last Friday of five officers brutally beating Nichols during what started as a traffic stop. Nichols died on Jan. 10 after the interaction on Jan. 7 put him in the hospital.
