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.
