PRESS STATEMENT - THERE IS HOPE: BUT WE STILL NEED A VIDEO!
“One must ask why does it take a video to bring justice in the case of the death of African Americans? It was a video that pulled back the cover in the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. It was a video that pulled back the cover of the murder in the case of George Floyd. Emmett Till had no video. Sandra Bland had no video. Trayvon Martin had no video. Breonna Taylor had no video. Kevin Strickland who served 43 years in a Missouri correctional center for a crime he did not commit, had no video. “
PRESS STATEMENT - THE TRIAL OF AHMAUD ARBERY PROVES AGAIN THAT JUSTICE IS NOT BLIND!
“Unfortunately, there was no video for Emmett Till. There was no video for James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner. There was no video for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. There was no video for Sandra Bland. There is no video for Breonna Taylor. But even when we have the video, Lady Justice still manages to pull down her blindfold.”
PRESS STATEMENT: THE DAWN OF JUSTICE - NOT YET A BRIGHT NEW DAY!
“The view of our civil rights is quite clear. We will not be constrained by the darkness of the hour…Let us not allow the lamp of liberty and justice to go out on our freedom. Let us not permit the door to be closed because we failed to open up a passageway for every American to pass through. Let us finally breathe free!”
