PRESS STATEMENT - HERE WE GO AGAIN, ANOTHER BLACK MAN KILLED WHILE MOVING!
“How long, how many more, how often, how come? How is the African American community so often the subject and the victim of death while interacting with certain police officers around the nation? This latest incident in the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan involving the shooting death of Patrick Lyoya, an immigrant from the Democratic Republic of the Congo is but another indication of a systemic law-enforcement tragedy. It is embedded within the very DNA of many of our nations police departments. Patrick Lyoya should be alive today.”

She will be the first Black woman to sit and serve on the highest court in the land.
