In 2016, tennis player Serena Williams made a public Facebook post in which she spoke about the fears she had for her nephew after he had driven her to her matches. Likely referring to the death of Sandra Bland, she spoke about her worries that her nephew might be harmed by a police officer after being pulled over. The "New York Times" documented her post in an article titled I Won't Be Silent': Serena Williams on the Fear of Driving While Black".
