On Saturday 23rd November 2013, ten children were shot dead in the US. The youngest was nine, the oldest was nineteen. They fell in suburbs, hamlets and ghettos. None made the national news. It was just another day in the death of America, where on average seven children and teens are killed by guns daily.

Gary Younge picked 23rd November at random, and set out to tell the stories of the lives lost during that single day.

Kenneth Mills-Tucker was shot dead just three days shy of his twentieth birthday. It was nine days before he was due in court, charged with failing to come to a complete halt at a stop sign and possession of a pipe with marijuana residue in it. His death wasn't noteworthy enough to get any media coverage. But if it had been, how would Kenneth have been remembered?
