Waukegan church leads protest rally in wake of Brown, Garner deaths | |
December 15, 2014 Alternately angry and determined, members of Trinity African Methodist Episcopal Church and other churches in Waukegan raised their voices Sunday in what they said was a call for justice. They were reacting to the recent deaths of unarmed black men -- like Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York -- at the hands of police officers. "It's time for the church to speak up, and speak out," said the Rev. Janice Brazil Cummings, pastor of Trinity AME Church. Source: http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20141214/news/141219114/ |
