Obama, NNPA, NAACP, Urban League Applaud Chauvin Verdict, Call it a ‘First Step’

“With this verdict, the jury has made an unambiguous declaration that unwarranted use of force against Black people by police is a crime and that Black Lives Matter, said National Urban League President Marc Morial.”

NNPA NEWSWIRE — “True justice requires that we come to terms with the fact that Black Americans are treated differently, every day. It requires us to recognize that millions of our friends, family, and fellow citizens live in fear that their next encounter with law enforcement could be their last. And it requires us to do the sometimes thankless, often difficult, but always necessary work of making the America we know more like the America we believe in.”
