More than a third of all criminal defendants on Long Island are Black men but the people prosecuting their cases are overwhelmingly white.
In 1998, Donald Rollock was one of two Black men working in the Nassau County District Attorney’s office. His white supervisor assigned him the case of a mother abusing her teenage daughter.
After Don Rollock resigned, there was just one Black male prosecutor in Nassau. “It s a big concern of mine, it has been for many years. Because I ve noticed that there are hardly any male Blacks,” he said.

“It was a 16-year-old girl and she was having sex with some guy, an older guy,” Rollock recalled in an interview. “Mom goes there, finds her, beats her with a belt, then takes her to the hospital and made sure that she s not pregnant.”
