Algiers - Journey back to the somber echoes of July 26th, where the shadows of tragedy loom large. Three police officers, drawn to reports of a sniper attack at the Algiers Motel, became unwitting participants in a harrowing tale. Hours of interrogation, marked by brutality and torment in the motel's lobby, bore witness to the unfathomable loss of three young African American lives. In a grave miscarriage of justice, accountability eluded the officers responsible for these senseless killings. The haunting legacy of that night underscores the ongoing struggle for equity and the imperative to confront systemic injustices that continue to plague our society.
Our candle line captures the poignant remembrance of this grievous event, infusing the air with the tender essence of loss. Envelop yourself in the comforting embrace of cedarwood, the soothing whispers of lavender, and the subtle allure of black cardamom. Each delicate note carries the weight of remembrance, honoring the lives lost while offering solace in the face of injustice. Illuminate your space with the fragrance of resilience and reflection, a tribute to the enduring spirits of those whose stories must never be forgotten.
