Ferguson Aftermath: Nationwide Action Targets Obama, Feds on Justice
The Eric Garner Case: Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop
Darren Wilson’s resignation Saturday from the Ferguson Police Department has not halted local protests over a grand jury’s decision not to charge him with killing 18-year-old Michael Brown on Aug. 9. But now, the protests have gone national, even global, and appear to be defying the widely held view that it’s a “Black issue.”
Larry Hamm, who chairs the Newark/Paterson, N.J.-based People’s Organization for Progress, joins Leid Stories in discussing today’s nationwide mass protests demanding President Obama and the federal government take resolute action on racism and police brutality in the United States.
