CHAOS OR COMMUNITY: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
“We stand here at Central United Methodist Church, a place of historic significance, remembering just 14 days after Dr. King gave his last sermon here in 1968, he would be assassinated at a Memphis, Tennessee motel. The Detroit Branch NAACP is pleased to once again commemorate this historic occasion at our June Jubilee: A Celebration Of Freedom, June 22-25, right here in the city of Detroit. It was in Detroit that Dr. King gave that preliminary address of I Have A Dream at Cobo Hall on that June day.”

PRESS STATEMENT - AMERICA AND ITS KILLING FIELDS
“We must end the gratuitous prayers for the victims, flowers and teddy bears for the deceased, litanies of how bad we feel that another killing field has occurred. It is not enough to send up a prayer for the dead. We must send out a policy change for the living. We cannot allow political leaders who are supposed to serve the people to disregard the will and determination of the people.”

PRESS STATEMENT - FROM MINNEAPOLIS TO MEMPHIS BLACK LIVES STILL DON’T MATTER AMERICA…YOU HAVE A PROBLEM!
“Black folks live with the personal trauma every day of wondering whether or not this is the day that I will have an encounter with the police as they pull up behind or right next to my car. Will my child make it home safely from school or work when he and his friends are walking together or driving together in a group? As he goes to visit a friend in a different neighborhood, will he be viewed as a trespasser, a criminal, someone who does not belong? There is a culture in American policing that has imbedded within it, racial, physical, and intellectual stereotypes of Black men in particular.”
